The Chevy Chase Lake Amusement Park, located at the end of the Connecticut Avenue streetcar line, was marketed as an exclusive destination for the “higher classes” of Washington. Join Beth Huffer, Director of the Archive and Research Center at the Chevy Chase Historical Society, as she discusses the development and history of the park, intended to attract prospective buyers for the suburban development, and the documented exclusion of Black Americans to access the park.
