Freedomland U.S.A., Historical amusement park in East Bronx, United States.
The 205-acre park featured seven themed regions representing different areas of the United States, including Little Ole New York and Old Chicago.
Cornelius Vanderbilt Wood, a former Disneyland planner, designed and opened Freedomland U.S.A. in June 1960, investing 65 million dollars in the project.
The park incorporated educational elements through historical recreations, including a reproduction of the Great Chicago Fire and frontier life demonstrations.
The admission price in 1960 was one dollar for adults, with reduced rates available for children visiting the 37 different attractions.
The entire park layout formed a geographical outline of the continental United States, with each section representing different regions of the country.
