SCARBOROUGH HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO RESUME PROGRAMS
Early Scarborough Tourism
By Linda Snow McLoon
After a long break from offering public programs due to the Covid outbreak, the Scarborough Historical Society will resume presenting programs with speakers at the Scarborough Public Library on Sunday, October 8, beginning at 2:00pm. Speaker Linda Snow McLoon’s program, Early Tourism in Scarborough, will look at the factors that brought visitors to Scarborough in the 19th century, the modes of transportation they used to travel here, and the early summer hotels and cottages in Scarborough that attracted tourists.
The Scarborough Historical Society has scheduled a full roster of programs for the coming year. The next program on November 5will be The Roadside Cabins of Scarborough. Rodney Laughton will tell the story of how a whole new type of lodging popped up – the roadside cabin – after automobiles became available in the 1920s.
