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.
