The trolley line always owned the park land through the 1940's.�It also managed the park grounds until 1926 when Fern Brook was transformed into a major amusement park.�In the spring of 1926 a group of investors purchased the picnic ground rights and equipment but not the land itself.

A partnership, on March 27, 1926, created the Fern Brook Park Amusement Company to completely rebuild the park at a reputed cost of $100,000.�The partners were Gerwin D. Aclair, Forty-Fort; S. Oscar Bougher, Hugh J. McKane, James A. McKane, William Multer, all of Wilkes-Barre; and Eugene W. Mulligan, Kingston.next
