YOUNGSTOWN - The Tyler History Center in Youngstown has opened its latest exhibit that showcases pieces from a beloved Mahoning Valley landmark.

'The Idora Park Experience' features stories and memorabilia pieces such as mirrors, signs and park models that came from the amusement park which stood on McFarland Avenue in Youngstown from 1899 to 1984.

A release states this exhibit will give guests a sneak preview of what they will be able to see at the future Idora Park Museum, which will be located in downtown Youngstown.

The experience is owned by Jim and Toni Amey, who have an entire Idora Park collection on display on Turner Road in Canfield. They want to keep memories of the park alive and thriving for future generations.

"While few under the age of fifty have memories of Idora, the Amey's are committed to sharing the park's important history with new generations and audiences," the release states.

You can find the exhibit in the Tyler History Center's Youngstown Foundation Community History Gallery.

The Tyler History Center is open from Tuesday to Sunday from noon to 4:00 p.m. and is located at 325 W Federal Street in Youngstown.
