The Haunted House
The Prescesky house was built in the 1930s by Peter Prescesky as a replica of their Montreal home after moving to the region.
The land was bought by the province in 1972 an they later built Upper Clements Theme Park and opened it 1989. The park was operated by a variety of parties over the years, some having more success than others.
Finally, the park would close for good in 2019 and was then purchased in 2020 by the municipality.
Most of the park was demolished in February of 2022 but the Prescesky house was spared. The stone house was last used as a haunted house as part of the park and still showed signs of this in the otherwise empty historical structure
On March 30, 2023 a fire started at 5:20am. It took 50 firefighters over 6 hours to extinguish the blaze. Due to the copper roof and stone walls, it was difficult to get to the source of the fire. They ended up using an excavator to get into the house and at the source of the fire. The house was completely demolished shortly after.
There are two buildings remaining at the park and both have been heavily vandalised. Someone had saved the bumper cars and was selling them off to interested buyers. There was also a train ride and this was purchased by a farmer in New Brunswick which now runs on his farm.
