For 43 years, Larry and Helene Donley have run Wild West Town, a theme park 60 miles northwest of Chicago. Now in their 80s, they’re ready to move on. But their kids and grandkids aren’t interested in the job, and the Donleys don’t want someone to change the property into, say, a concert space, as a potential buyer once suggested. Ideally, they want things to continue in their current form: Wild West Town has a gold-panning pavilion, a live action Wild West show, and kiddie rides on the 19th-century miniature locomotive. The site has a gentle roller coaster (the “Runaway Mine Cart”), a carousel and a water ride. There are also firing and archery ranges, a tomahawk throw and slingshot gallery. Places like this are relics of a bygone era. Similar family-owned theme parks dotted the U.S. in the 1950s, profiting from increasingly prosperous Americans who took their vacations on the road. Lately, bigger, flashier and more modern theme parks have squeezed out the smaller and more antiquated ones. @davidkasnic photographed the actor Bob Brown, “the jail’s marshal,” giving students on a field trip a tour of the jail.
