These days, it seems like every amusement park and family-oriented attraction is part of a giant corporate enterprise – and while these massive parks can be great fun, they certainly don’t have the cozy, family-run feel many of us remember from the parks of our youth. There’s one hidden treasure here in New Hampshire that holds that warm feeling – have you been?

Fort Jefferson Fun Park in Jefferson, New Hampshire, has been a family-run business for 61 years. You might remember it as Six Gun City – a few years ago it was renamed and shifted focus from a theme park to a fun park, but you’ll still enjoy plenty of Old West charm here.
