After the Minneapolis amusement park closed in 1912, the land was divided up into lots that sold for as little as $450.

Wonderland Park opened in Minneapolis in 1905. By 1911, the amusement park had grown to 20 acres, 200-some buildings and a new boardwalk. But the land was apparently worth more than the revenue generated each year. The buildings were razed the following summer, and the land was divided into 99 residential lots and sold. This ad is from the Minneapolis Tribune dated Oct. 18, 1913.
