Tolchester, looking down the lake towards the bay

Description

Two figures sitting in front of the lake at the Tolchester Beach Amusement Park in Tolchester, Maryland. The figures sit on the ground, with their backs to the camera, while the lake is seen in the distance. This Kent County park consisted of a bathing beach, amusement park, racetrack, and hotel, and was in operation from 1877 to 1962. It was a popular vacation destination for Baltimoreans as it was only 27 miles across the Chesapeake Bay and the Tolchester Steamboat Company ran daily excursions to Tolchester from Baltimore, Maryland.
