The Gingerbread Castle dates to 1930, making it one of the oldest theme parks in America. For 50 years, generations of children made the trek up Route 23 to tour the Gingerbread Castle and gawk at the life-size figurines of fairy tales and nursery rhymes: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Little Miss Muffet or the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.
But changing times and changing tastes conspired to bring down the curtain on the Gingerbread Castle in 1978. Now, little is left but the crumbling walls and the memories. Almost all of the figures have disappeared, some of them auctioned off on eBay. The good news is that Humpty Dumpty is still on the wall. And the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe may be gone, but at least the shoe is still there, under a cluster of weeds next to the castle. The witch may have flown the castle, but two of her caldrons are still there.
