Ebersole Family with 1929 Chevrolet Sedan at Tourist Cabin in Saco, Maine, 1929
01
Artifact Overview
During the 1920s, owners of roadside autocamps discovered that many motorists would happily pay extra for privacy. Small tourist cabins and cottages promised quiet, privacy, and parking. And they cost less than a hotel. This photograph shows the Ebersole family unpacking for a nights stay at a tourist cabin in Saco, Maine, in 1929.
