Santa's Village opened in 1955 and closed its doors in 1998. It now serves as a lumber yard, and the former parking lot is filled with logs. Even though the place has been closed for over a decade, most of the buildings and the monorails are still standing, nestled in the tress just off the highway. Glimpses of it can be seen from the highway.
