Tashmoo Park
Tashmoo Park was an amusement park in Algonac, Michigan. Opened in 1897, it closed in 1951. Most of it was later demolished, though the dance pavilion remains today, used by a marina to store recreational boats over the winter.
The park's name was given to the steamer Tashmoo and probably comes from Lake Tashmoo on Martha's Vineyard.
