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. |
