About Us:

One of our very own, Clayton Kirkpatrick was born in Waterman in 1915. He graduated form Waterman High School in 1933 along with the older brother of Bernice Kirkus of the Heritage Society. His father and grandfather had a garage business that was located in the building that is now our Village Hall. The following clips and photos were taken from an interview with Clayton in 1993. The Heritage Society has a 15 minute video of this story (DVD and VHS). Clayton passed away in 2004.

The Waterman and Western Railroad is a 15” gauge train that runs around Park every Sunday afternoon Mothers Day through September. In October, the Ghost Train chugs through a haunted house to a pumpkin patch where the children choose a free pumpkin. The Friday after Thanksgiving, our Holiday Train starts its ride past 220 figures and over 200,000 holiday lights.
