Back by popular demand, the Crawford Park District will once again travel back in time to Crawford County’s popular amusement park of yesteryear.

Ed and Dee Speece now own the property where Seccaium Park was located at 1727 Ohio 19 between Bucyrus and Galion from 1899 to 1948. The public is invited to their picnic area at 2 o’clock on Sunday afternoon to learn and share stories and memorabilia regarding Seccaium Park.

Remnants of the park will also be available for viewing.

Those attending are invited to bring any pictures or other items from the park they have along with personal recollections.
