ANTHONY SAMMARCO

Friday, August 28

Breakfast at 9:00 am - Presentation to follow at 9:30 am

Mr. Sammarco is a historian and author of over 60 books. We are very fortunate to have booked such an interesting speaker who will present: “Revere Beach Wonderland” Revere Beach is the oldest public bathing beach in the United States. In 1895 the Massachusetts legislature ordered the taking of nearly three miles of private seacoast land on what is now Revere Beach Reservation. The Metropolitan Park Commission was entrusted with the land in 1896. Charles Eliot, a landscape designer, was chosen by the Park Commission to design Revere Beach Reservation for the best use by the public. However, it also became a destination of amusements with a carnival-themed environment with popular rides such as the roller coaster, Hell Gate, Shooting the Chutes, the Derby Racer and many more. There was the Nautical Garden, Casino Dance Hall, the Wonderland Ballroom, and the Fun House. These amusements plus the arcades where one could win a prize were popular, as was the beach. Please register in advance at the front desk or call the Senior Center at
