{"product_id":"postcards-of-indian-lake-cornelis-van-der-veen-9781300937661","title":"Postcards of Indian Lake: Part I - South-East","description":"Indian Lake, northwestern Ohio, was originally a group of smaller lakes and wetlands occupying 640 acres. In 1850, the Lewistown Reservoir was created to serve as feeder lake for the Miami-Erie Canal. After canal transportation became obsolete, the Reservoir was converted into a public park called the Indian Lake State Park. Entrepreneurs were quick to jump on the opportunities Indian Lake offered and for much of the twentieth century the area was known as Ohio's Million Dollar Playground. Sandy Beach Amusement Park offered rollercoaster rides and other attractions, and hosted concerts by nationally known Big Bands. The amusement park finally closed in the mid 1970s. Since then, the character of Indian Lake has changed and condominiums and vacation homes now dot the waterfront. This book is the first in a series documenting the history of Indian Lake through vintage postcards from the private collection of the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornelis Van Der Veen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1300937661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781300937661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Cornelis Van Der Veen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425168834815,"sku":"9781300937661","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49606ebd-39f9-4fe0-8646-6f3aaca3a463.jpg?v=1761537503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postcards-of-indian-lake-cornelis-van-der-veen-9781300937661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
