Adventure Town was a wild west theme park located in Alexandria Bay, NY.

It opened in the summer of 1955 and closed on Labor Day, 1961. The park had stage coaches, a steam locomotive, stunt shows, an Indian Village, and it's own lake. The project was done by Bud Hebert and George Clark, owners of the Edgewood Resort Hotel and international speedway. According to some the park was very successful, but was closed because the owners found it difficult to manage both the theme park and their other ventures.
