edgemont park was demolished partialy as a result of the DuBois flood and the remaider was excavated as part of the Army corps of engineers flood control project. The park was the first electric theme park in Pennsylvania and was noted as one of the premeire parks in the east coast. The DuBois traction company ran a trolly with stops in Falls creek station, Sykesville, as well as stops at both edgemont park and hand park. The bandstand was a large attraction for both company picnics as well as local entertainment and dances. Some believe that the entire park was located as previously mentioned but pictures have shown that it did not. some features of the park were infact on the right side of larkeytown bridge, but a larger portion to include bike paths, pavilions, small rides and boat launches were locatel elsewhere. The parks history is fading as did the park itself and the locating of people who attended the park has proven difficult.

the child was of one of the original families of Sabula, the Osbornes. he accompanied his older brothers to the sugar shack that they had to the left of the tunnel enterance. as darkness fell he became scared and told the others that he was going to walk back home. His brothers told Him to stay on the path that he was familiar with to return back to the house. As morning came the boys returned home only to be questioned as to where the youngest son was. They told of the nights events and that he had returned home. A search party was formed by the locals and whent on through the night and again the next morning. On a third search of the wooded area searchers found the body of the child in some bushes off of the path. The body did not show any wounds leaving the locals to believe that the boy froze to death.
