Electric Park by Night - Baltimore, MD 1896-1915

What a wonderful place this must have been! Lit up by thousands of lights at night, the Electric Park grew to include rides, shows, a restaurant, a casino and a unique display featuring a re-creation of the Jonestown Flood (1889). Admission was free.
