Rose Island was an amusement park that was situated on the land that is now Charlestown State Park that operated from the 1920's to the 1930's. It was abandoned after a massive flood in 1937. Today you can get to the island (which is actually a peninsula) via a new bridge built inside the state park. There are still traces of the old park, the most noticeable being the old pool and foundation of a fountain. Great place to see some history and wear this wonderfully retro T shirt!
