Take a time-traveling trip around the world without leaving home! Film historian Richard Hall has curated a fun collection of vintage travelogue films dating from 1902 to the 1950s that you can watch on YouTube. Before most people had televisions or passports, travelogue films expanded their horizons to exotic locales and different cultures. Since we can’t travel now, take a trip with us on planes, trains, ships, and automobiles.

Vintage Movie Night is part of the Takoma Park Arts cultural series organized by the City of Takoma Park. You can find more details and sign up for our e-newsletter at takomaparkmd.gov/arts. Many of our former events are available on our YouTube channel, including concerts, theater and dance performances, art exhibitions, poetry readings, and more. The arts keep us connected even when we’re apart.
