GLEN — The story of Story Land is one of vision, community caring and wonderment, as founded by the late Bob and Ruth Morrell and carried on by their son Stoney during Morrell Family Attractions’ years of running the amusement park from 1954-2007 and now continued by its owners, Palace Entertainment. The following account is taken from Story Land’s website, with some additions.
Once upon a time, in the far-off land of Germany, Bob and Ruth Morrell were surprised by a knock at their door. They were not expecting visitors. Bob and Ruth, husband and wife from North Conway, were living in Europe at the invitation of the U.S. Army. A veteran of the famed 10th Mountain Division of skiing soldiers in World War II, Bob had been summoned back to serve during the Korean Conflict.
