Antique auto displays, riverboat rides, musical entertainment and refreshments are available for a family, fun-filled day.

“Somewhere in Time is a unique happening designed to recapture history, as well as, the rich heritage and beauty of the first Wayne County park, Elizabeth Park,” said Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano.

An arts, crafts and vintage market, bake sale, old-time games and contests as well as pony rides add to the early 1900’s nostalgia.
