Whalom Park Memories




I am so excited that the new Whalom Park ownership program is trying to bring back a piece of my childhood. I spent many happy days at Whalom Park built in 1893. The park closed after the 2000 season. My fondest memories were in kiddie land. I rode the motorcycle ride, the boat ride the carocell (sp). I also rode the coaster from the top of which you could see the whole of lake Whalom. It was beautiful view. I rode the bumper cars with my dad. I was too little to drive them myself. My parents won me lots of prizes in the midway. I got a bunch of Michael Jackson posters a huge Hulk Hogan picture in a frame and more. I want the thank the ownership program for the pictures they have allowed me to use in this blog. I will also link them in my links section at right.

Thanks to this brave man Roger Dean Kiser author of The White House Boys: An American Tragedy I am able to tell you their story. Thank you Mr.Kiser and all the brave White House Boys for allowing this blog to be written.
                Many of these boys were not sent to the reform school for any crime,they simply weren't wanted or were orphans. They were taken to a building at the school behind the mess hall called the White House  and were told to lay on a filthy mattress on a bed frame with springs. They then had to hold onto the metal bed frame and bite the nasty pillow while they were beat with a leather strap that had a metal strip inside for reinforcement. The wounds were horre…
