"A National Historic Landmark, designated 1987. In 1898 a picnic grove on Anthony Kenny's farm here was leased to the Monongahela Street Railway Co. for an amusement park linked to Pittsburgh by it's trolley line. Sold to private interests in 1906 - the park was to survive a Depression, recessions, and two World Wars...As Kennywood moves through the 21st century it continues to keep a balance of change and preservation of tradition which has always been important to it's success. Kennywood remains one of 'America's Finest Traditional Amusement Parks.'"
