About this postcard

The card shows the Madison Avenue Gate at Druid Hill Park in Baltimore, an ornate classical colonnade at the park entrance, with visitors resting on benches beneath mature trees and a streetcar visible beyond. Druid Hill Park opened in 1860 and is one of the oldest landscaped public parks in the United States. The scene reflects the park's use as a popular urban pleasure ground in the early 20th century.
