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 motorists would happily pay extra for their own private accommodations. Bare-bones tourist cabins and cottages promised privacy, car parking, quiet, and less expense than a hotel stay. This family parked their Chevrolet next to "home" for the night -- a tourist cabin in Saco, Maine.
