Episode 112
Did you know many of today’s amusement parks started with a streetcar? In this episode, we’re rolling back to the late 1800s to explore the fascinating world of trolley parks—recreational destinations created by trolley companies that shaped American leisure time.
In this nostalgic ride, we’ll cover:
- How trolley parks began and why they were built
- What a day at a trolley park looked like in the early 1900s
- Historic parks that still operate today
- The lasting legacy and charm of these community-centered parks
Whether you’re a theme park fan or a history buff, you will enjoy this trip into the roots of American recreation.
