Williams Reel 07 – Huntington WV – Dreamland Swimming Pool

From the Williams Reels, this was in the late 50’s. Bub and Myrt go down to Huntington, West Virginia for some boating on the Ohio River. They visit Uncle Charles and Aunt Sally Nease, who live on a converted river boat docked on the river. The only label on the film was “Huntington with Meroe, Betty and Anne”.

The last part of the film is a visit nearby to Dreamland Swimming Pool. At the time the pool was billed as the “Largest Swimming Pool East of the Mississippi”
