Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. GLEN_120310_002.JPG: The following pictures are from the page 2012_MD_Glen_Echo MD -- Glen Echo Park (81 photos from 2012)
  The Hall of Philosophy: If you were in this spot in 1891, you would have seen a two-story building nestled in trees overlooking the Potomac River and Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The Hall of Philosophy was part of the National Chautauqua Assembly at Glen Echo, which offered classes in science, art, languages and literature. The main lecture hall in the Hall of Philosophy seated 400 people. Many prominent scholars and social leaders gave lectures there. On August 1, 1891 hundreds of attendees gathered at a reception to honor neighbor and Founder of the American Red Cross, Clara Barton. Miss Barton was also President of the Chautauqua's Women's Executive Committee. Her home, now a National Historic Site, is just footsteps away. Continue to follow the footsteps along the trail to learn more about the shy farm girl from Massachusetts who devoted her life to human welfare and the advancement of social reforms and who gained fame throughout the world.
2. GLEN_120310_007.JPG: Minnehaha Creek: This deep ravine and rocky creek are typical of streams in the Potomac River Valley. Today Minnehaha Creek flows freely through Glen Echo Park. Changes made to the creek during the past 100 years mirror the history of Glen Echo Park. The arrival of the Glen Echo Chatauqua changed Minnehaha Creek; a large amphitheater was constructed in the creek bed in 1891. Here students gathered for lectures until a malaria scare closed the Chautauqua in 1892. Later, in 1899, a Glen Echo company developed the site into an amusement park. A remodeled amphitheater opened as the "Midway" in 1911. Glen Echo Park's popularity again changed Minnehaha Creek. In 1959 park owners extended the parking lot by removing the "Midway" and installing a large metal pipe or culvert. For 33 years Minnehaha Creek flowed silently underground until record breaking rains collapsed the parking lot and culvert in 1989. Following the flood, the National Park Service restored the creek's natural stream bed. Look closely along the banks to spot signs of Minnehaha Creek's past.
3. GLEN_120310_040.JPG: The Glen Echo Park Yurts How they got here and what goes on inside them. Yurts Around the World. These interesting and unusual buildings function as studios and classrooms in Glen Echo Park. Yurts have a long history. In Mongolia, yurts have been practical homes for thousands of years. In fact the word yurt means "homeland" or "domain." To nomadic herders of the steppes they were the ideal mobile home. They were portable, strong, and could be insulated from the high winds of the Asian Steppe. Consisting of a framework of saplings and a covering of animal hide, they are bound together with horse hair rope. They could be struck and packed up in thirty minutes and were light and compact enough to be carried by a horse. Today yurts all share their distinctive but are built in different variations and used in different ways all over the world. Most Glen Echo yurts have a circular skylights at their roof peaks. Some are insulated with sod roofs. They were brought here in 1972 to be assembled for Humanisphere, an 18 month habitat exhibit on the National Mall that was cancelled before it began. At that time, Glen Echo Park was beginning a new life as a park for the arts. These buildings seemed to fit in perfectly and filled a need for studio/classroom space. Today, more than thirty art classes are held in our yurts. Artists and students design, learn, and produce art work. Romantic Yurt Village. The yurt village of today is in space once occupied by many of the major amusement park rides, including the World Cruise, the Whip, and three versions of the amusement park's most thrilling ride, the roller coaster. The World Cruise (tunnel of love) was located near the point where the path to the parking lot meets the carousel. It was a slow boat ride through the dark that passed by scenic views of far-away places . . . and was a favorite stop for many dating couples in the 1920's–1940's. The Whip was a popular ride in many amusement parks of the 1920's–60's. A bit tamer than the thrill rides, it let you smash against your partner every time the cars whipped around their track. It was simple fun!!
4. GLEN_120310_045.JPG: 1921: The Dentzel carousel came to the Park in 1921 as a replacement for a smaller carousel. Built in the Philadelphia style, the hand-carved, wooden animals create a menagerie type featuring rabbits, ostriches, a giraffe, a lion, a tiger and a deer, in addition to horses, and two chariots.
5. GLEN_120310_060.JPG: c. 1931: In the midst of the Great Depression, the Crystal Pool provides a haven. It was big enough for 3,000 swimmers and featured a sand beach. The Art Deco style of the pool became Glen Echo Park's new look.
6. GLEN_120310_138.JPG: c. 1926: Known in the 1920s as The Skooter and in the 1930s as the Dodgem, Glen Echo Park's bumper car ride was one of the first in any amusement park in the world. The Art Deco facade was added in the 1930s. Today's rehabilitated Bumper Car Pavilion hosts hundreds of dances and events each year.
7. GLEN_120310_185.JPG: c. 1939: The old Arcade was an active attraction from 1899-1940. Skeeball, a Shooting Gallery, and Pennyland, were some of the games visitors played. In 1940, the current art deco Arcade was built to house these games and many more.
8. GLEN_120310_217.JPG: c. 1891: The Chautauqua Program at Glen Echo opened June 16, 1891 and offered classes and lectures in all areas of the liberal and practical arts. The education program ran for only one year, but the buildings were used by the amusement park for decades. The Stone Tower is the only Chautauqua structure that remains intact today.

10. GLEN_120310_223.JPG: c. 1930: The entrance to Glen Echo Park had undergone many changes. In 1940, art deco design has been restored, but prior entrances included a stone entrance in the 1890s with the early trolley lines in front and the 1911 entrance, which featured numerous lightbulbs and two towers, and was in place for 30 years.
11. GLEN_120310_229.JPG: From http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/streetcar-removed-from-glen-echo-park/2012/04/30/gIQADoPjsT_story.html Old streetcar removed from Glen Echo Park By John Kelly, Published: April 30 Washington Post Not long ago someone called Ken Rinehart and asked how much he would charge to haul an old streetcar off to the scrap yard. Ken, head of a Landover company called General Machine, did some quick calculations and told the man it would cost more to move the trolley than it was worth in scrap. "He said, 'You wanna buy it?' " Ken told me. "I made some stupid offer and he accepted." And that is how Ken found himself the new owner of the streetcar that for the past seven years has sat in front of Glen Echo Park. Last Tuesday, a crew used two forklifts to load the trolley onto a flatbed and haul it away. "I thought it was almost a historic piece," Ken said. "I thought, we've got plenty of room here. We've got three acres. We can stick it next to our 747 cockpit." Yes, Ken has a 747 cockpit. And some old printing presses. And an old voting machine (Clinton/Gore vs. Dole/Kemp). Still, it's doubtful any of those things are as sentimental as the 1947 streetcar, a stylish, streamlined model known as a PCC. It's of the type that used to ply Washington's rails. Ken used to ride the streetcar to Glen Echo as a boy from his father's Foggy Bottom service station. He never rode this particular car, though. It spent its career in Philadelphia before being donated to Glen Echo in 2005 by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transport Authority. The national park had great plans to restore it. The park -- and the suburb -- exist because of the streetcar line. But it sat uncovered in the elements and ended up looking rather forlorn, mottled with rust and primer. The National Park Service said the car needed an outlay of about $100,000 to restore it. Bethesda blogger and streetcar buff Robert Dyer is pretty upset that the streetcar is gone. He doesn't think the Park Service did enough to try to save it. "If there had been a public announcement that we need help to restore the trolley, I would have definitely noticed it," he said. Robert is especially upset that the trolley showed up on eBay last month, with a starting bid of $30,000. Polly Angelakis, site manager of Clara Barton National Historic Site and Glen Echo Park, said the Park Service is not allowed to sell government property. She doesn't know who put the trolley on eBay. Maybe it was the person who sold it to Ken. (She said the sale was handled by the General Services Administration and the listing was taken down.) Polly added that the Park Service is not allowed to actively seek donations. Didn't Target give $1 million to help restore the Washington Monument in 1996? I think the real issue is that this particular car is a Philly car, not a D.C. one. And it had become a bit of an eyesore, not the first thing you want visitors to see. Polly says her rangers will continue to tell visitors about the importance of streetcars to the park. They will point out the historic track out front. And she said if they were ever to locate a real Glen Echo trolley, they'd be interested in it -- as long as they had the budget to store and maintain it. Some in the small but active trolley community are sad the streetcar is gone. "It's a shame," said Harry Donahue of Friends of Philadelphia Trolleys, a nonprofit that raises money to save streetcars such as this one. "Somebody took it down there with a good idea to restore it and paint it like a Washington car," Harry said. "But if it's going to sit outside, you have to maintain it. It's 65 years old. You can't leave it out in the elements." Harry said if Ken doesn't want to keep the streetcar it would be good for parts. There's even a vintage trolley line in San Diego that uses that exact model to carry passengers today. "I know they're interested in it," Harry said. Said Ken: "There's always a price but right now it's not for sale. It's just kind of neat. I never had a streetcar before."
12. GLEN_120310_417.JPG: Glen Echo Civil Rights Protest On June 30, 1960 African Americans Gwendolyn Greene (Britt), William Griffin, Michael Proctor, Marvous Saunders and Cecil Washington Jr. were arrested when they attempted to ride Glen Echo Park's Dentzel Carousel and were charged with trespassing on private property. Part of a college-based civil rights group called the Non-violent Action Group (N. A. G.), the five sit-in demonstrators were protesting the long-standing segregation policies of the privately-owned amusement park. A summer-long picketing campaign followed the arrests. The campaign involved citizens of all ages and backgrounds. The neighboring community of Bannockburn joined the picketing and provided particularly strong support. The protestors achieved success when the park opened on a fully-integrated basis on March 31, 1961. Plaque dedicated on April 26, 2008.

  These are called "yurts". They were essentially foisted on the park. As the web site says, in 1971, then recent college graduates David Raitt (singer Bonnie Raitt's brother), Marc Hansen, and Bruno Lefevre formed a company, "Synergic Design International Inc." The contracted with Bill's Yurt Design Inc to construct of Yurt village for the American Crafts Council for a crafts event on the Mall in Washington. The event never happened so the village was never used for its original purpose and the components were stored at Glen Echo Park. The builders managed to persuade the National Park Service to let them erect the yurts in the park in 1972 and they have been providing accommodation ever since.

106. GLEN_040320_056.JPG: For Future Generations: This carousel is now a historic structure; in fact, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Since the turn of the century, this ride has been a favorite for children of all ages. The art of animal carving was at its peak in 1921, when the Dentzel Carousel Company of Philadelphia installed this carousel in Glen Echo Park. Today, the National Park Service works diligently to maintain a balance between preservation and use of this invaluable historic structure. Sections of the carousel and the animals are being conserved and restored through a special process. Carousel Saved! The "Save the Carousel" effort is an early example of community support that is a hallmark at Glen Echo. After the Glen Echo Amusement Park closed, park owners moved or sold many rides, including the carousel. The new owner planned to ship it to California. Alarmed, the town of Glen Echo, Maryland, formed the Save the Carousel Committee. In one month, they raised the money and purchased the carousel. Meanwhile, community efforts successfully prevented the commercial development of the amusement park. Today, the National Park Service in partnership with local citizens and groups protects this treasure and its home. Glen Echo Park's carousel represents a vanishing breed. More than 3,000 carousels with hand carved wooden animals were produced in the United States; fewer than 160 remain today. Built by the Dentzel Carousel Company of Philadelphia and installed here in 1921, it is one of the few carousels in its original location.

VISITORS TO Glen Echo Park this weekend can be among the first to ride a horse of a different color. Actually, they can choose from 40 galloping steeds, four loping ostriches, a quartet of prancing rabbits, a rearing reindeer, a stately giraffe, a roaring lion and a majestic tiger, all looking as resplendent as the day they arrived more than 80 years ago. In a transformation that, for merry-go-round enthusiasts, rivals Dorothy's journey from sepia-toned Kansas to Technicolor Oz, the former amusement park's Dentzel carousel boasts a menagerie that was changed from a sea of dull brown to a shiny rainbow of hues. This metamorphosis didn't happen overnight, however: It took 20 years of painstaking labor and research, completed primarily by Rosa Patton Ragan, a North Carolina-based artist whose love of working with wood and paint led to a career in carousel restoration. The completely renovated carousel opened Thursday, and its 83rd season officially kicks off this weekend with a family celebration on Saturday. Full-blown restoration started five years ago after an anonymous donor contributed $500,000 to the cause. Now, each hand-carved wooden animal bears an authentic, distinctive look. A caramel-colored horse wears a saddle adorned with metallic green eagle heads and feathers of red, gold and orange. A dappled white mount sports a garland of red roses. The orange-beaked ostriches kick up their yellow legs beneath plumage varying from cream to pink to blue-green along with gray and black. "People are really excited. I think they love the bright colors and how shiny it is," says Katey Boerner, executive director of the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, a nonprofit organization that oversees the historic park and its renovation. Visitors are noticing the differences among the animals, she says, and "all of the decorative detail is really popping out." The vibrant critters are only part of the completed project. Ragan also refurbished the second of two griffin-adorned chariots, completed the final panel of artwork on the round interior wall that hides the ride's gear mechanism and painted the remaining unrestored ceiling panels and rounding boards, the decorative panels that circle the carousel's exterior. Overall touch-up work completes the dazzling total effect. "In a way, it's almost better than when it came from the factory . . . because this is a loving restoration," Boerner says of the ride, installed in 1921 during Glen Echo's heyday as an amusement park, which people reached by riding the trolley from the District. Beginning in 1983 with the carousel's "Indian Horse," Ragan annually transported animals to her studio, where she gently scraped away layers of paint and varnish to reveal the carved creatures' true colors. "The main goal of the restoration was to restore the carousel to its original color and design," Ragan says. "Everything had two to 10 layers of other paint on it." Repeated varnishing over time gave all the animals the same brown hue, creating an antiqued look that completely hid the initial painted designs. Working for about a month per animal, Ragan stripped layers in small patches, usually rectangles a couple of inches in diameter. After opening enough "windows" to reveal the original hues and patterns, she got to the "fun" part of the job: repainting and varnishing the pieces to resemble their original appearances. But she purposely left sections of the first paint exposed here and there on several animals, creating a visual scavenger hunt of sorts for sharp-eyed riders. Ragan also restored the ride's ceiling panels, which, at about seven feet in length apiece are much larger than they appear to riders. Once obscured by slapdash polka dots, the curving center wall panels now display their original panoramic landscape paintings, some of which remind Ragan of wooded areas along the Potomac. Assisted by her husband, artist Ron Rozzelle, along with carousel assistant Lisa Fahlstrom and the Puppet Co.'s Mayfield Piper, Ragan spent weeks on-site restoring the ride's intricate decorative accents, such as rosy-cheeked cherub faces, scrolled flourishes in shades such as coral and teal with gold-leaf trim, and bronzed, lifelike laughing jesters. While they'll no doubt be delighted over the carousel's new look, longtime riders should be just as pleased to see that some things haven't changed. Tickets still cost 50 cents, and they're still sold by Irene Hurley, now 81, who has operated the ride with son Max for 25 years. In addition to taking tickets and maintaining the equipment, Max creates music rolls for the original Wurlitzer band organ. This season's lively new tunes will include movie themes, polkas, waltzes and ragtime pieces.

Wikipedia Description: Glen Echo Park, Maryland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glen Echo Park is a public park in Glen Echo, Maryland. It is managed by the National Park Service as part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. It began in 1891 as a National Chautauqua Assembly and operated as an amusement park until 1968. As of 2007, the park hosts an arts education program and is also known for its antique carousel, its Spanish Ballroom and its historic electric street car and its annual Washington Folk Festival.

The park is near to several notable sites such as the Clara Barton house and the C&O canal. Glen Echo used to be a trolley park accessible by the street car system; the park was designed to be the last stop on the cars so people could go there after work. The original park had several attractions, including bumper cars, shooting galleries, and an expansive rollercoaster. The park also had a large pool, the Crystal Pool, the remains of which can still be seen today, and a shooting gallery, which was stopped in WWII because of ammunition shortages.

The Park Carousel:

The last operating park ride, and the highlight of the park today, is a 1921 Dentzel three-row menagerie carousel with 38 horses, 2 chariots, 4 rabbits, 4 ostriches, a lion, a tiger, a giraffe, and a prancing deer. The carousel operates from May through September, running from 12 to 6 on weekends and 10-2 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays all season and Fridays in July and August. In its heyday the carousel sported an operating brass ring game, in which daring riders could reach out and pull a ring out of a holder next to the carousel. Grabbing a brass ring would win the lucky rider a free ride. The brass ring arm is still visible today, although it no longer operates.

The face of the carousel had changed greatly since 1921, with the animals, rounding boards, inner drum panels, and band organ receiving several new coats of park paint over the years. An installation photograph from 1921, as co ...More...

Once home to seven different roller coasters, Glen Echo has undergone many transformations since its founding in 1891.

Since its founding in 1891, Glen Echo Park has undergone many transformations. The park initially served as a site for the National Chautauqua Assembly, which was an American cultural and education movement popular at the turn of the 20th century. But after rumors spread that mosquitoes were transmitting malaria in the area, the Chautauqua closed up shop in 1898 and the site was transformed into an amusement park that operated until 1968.

During that seventy-year period, Glen Echo was home to seven different roller coasters. The remaining structures from the park, such as the arcade and the “Cuddle Up” teacup ride remind visitors of the art deco architecture popular in the area in the 1930s. Not much else is original: The Crystal Pool had been filled in and is covered in trees and brush, but the impressive gateway entrance remains. Still, new layers of paint and other restorations have kept the appearance of these standing structures fresh.

The park is also known for its custom wood-carved Dentzel Carousel that has been restored to its 1921 state and still operates on a limited schedule.

During the era of the trolley car in Maryland, Glen Echo Park was the last stop on the line, serving as a popular destination for post-work family leisure. A trolley car from the era remains out front underneath the neon Glen Echo sign.
