Island Park Brewing

To some, the term “Island Park” might harbor no memories. However, Connor and his family recall the significance. Island Park, located on the north shore of Cobbosseecontee Lake, once boasted a music hall and place of gathering that managed to attract thousands of locals and visitors each weekend. Its reign began in 1904 when a man by the name of Fred Hersey constructed a 75’ x 150’ dance pavilion and theater. A bridge was built that connected the island to the mainland, and a trolley system carried patrons to and from performances. It was a place for gathering, dancing and good company.
