Eagle River, WI, Pleasure Island Amusement Park Good Luck Souvenir Token
Apparently operating in the 1960s and 1970s, Pleasure Island was not actually an island -- but it was a popular amusement park remembered fondly by Wisconsin locals to this day. Taking its cues from Disneyland, the park was split into two themed areas: Fairytale Hill, which played into fairy tales and nursery rhymes, and Frontierland, which featured an Old West town with "train robberies every half hour" (fun?), "Indian dancers" (yikes), and, um ... mock public hangings. Fun for the whole family!
This souvenir token features a scene from one of the park's western-themed shows on the obverse, with a sheriff holding two bank robbers at gunpoint. The reverse shows a generic good luck horseshoe.
