  • Bethesda Park: "The Handsomest Park in the United States"
    THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY STORY Published Quarterly by The Montgomery County Historical Society Philip L. Cantelon Eleanor M. V. Cook President Editor Vol. 34, No. 3 August 1991 BETHESDA PARK: "THE HANDSOMEST PARK IN THE UNITED STATES" by William G. Allman If asked what late-19th century amusement park might have claimed to be "the handsomest park in the United States," first to come to mind would probably be part of the Coney Island complex or, on a more local level, perhaps Glen Echo Park or Marshall Hall. This boast, however, appeared in an 1893 newspaper advertisement for Bethesda Park, a short-lived (1891- 1896?) and rather obscure amusement facility in Montgomery County.1 In this, the centennial year of its inception, an examination of its brief history provides an interesting study of the practices of recreation and amusement in the 1890's and the role they played in suburban development. The last decade of the 19th century was the first decade of the era of the electric street railway, a major improvement in public transportation that contributed greatly to suburban development around American cities. With a significant extension of the radius of practicable commuting from the city center, developers could select land that lay beyond jurisdictional boundaries, embodied desirable topographical features, or fulfilled the "rural ideal" which was becoming increasingly attractive to urban Americans.2 The rural Bethesda District fell within such an extended commuting radius from the city of Washington, and had been skirted by the the county's first major transportational improvement - the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad completed in 1873.

  • Abandoned Am Usem Ent Parks
    Abandoned Amusement Parks There is something both sad and creepy about an abandoned amusement park. Perhaps it’s because a place that was once packed with fun seekers has become slowly choked with weeds. Or maybe it’s because the sound of children’s excited laughter has been replaced with the quiet creaking of rusted rides. When the only visitors are the spirits of those who died there many years ago, an amusement park can be a very scary place to visit. Within the 11 amusement parks in this book, you will discover a roller coaster Williams left to rot after nearly killing its passengers, deserted rides that are now home to alligators and snakes, and the ghost of a man who is still trying to ride a Ferris wheel that stopped working years ago.
