During it's 63 years in existence.....For some people a trip to Riverview was a routine summer weekend excursion.... For others, it was a ritual.... but for nearly all who went there, a visit to Riverview was a significant event not soon to be forgotten.

DISCLAIMER-Nearly all the information found on this site is from past recollections shared by three generations of our family who were involved in both ownership and management of Riverview. Many of the dates may be approximate and the information only as good as the aging minds doing the recollecting. Thus, anything found here is from the horse's mouth and likely to be the way it was.... yet certainly subject to friendly dispute.
