| Winnwood Beach Courtesy: Kansas City Public Library Crowds numbering to 10,000 on Sundays visited old Winnwood Beach in rural Clay County, Missouri. Swimming, boating, dancing, picnic grounds, cottages, roller coaster, rides and sideshows were available. The park, with spring-fed lake, was built and developed by Frank Winn, member of a prominent pioneer Clay County family with large land holdings and a pre-Civil War mansion. The boardwalk was copied from Atlantic City. In addition to motor cars, the Kansas City Clay County and St. Joe Interurban railway carried visitors to the park. Four-lane I-35 now follows the old tracks through the park. |
