Are we there yet? America on vacation

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "A look at the history of Americans on vacation."
  • "Looks at the history of the family vacation in America. Until the twentieth century phenomenon, travel was the province of the rich. But the inventions of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, combined with the success of social reformers who won more leisure time for regular workers, opened the world of travel to the common man. Traces the evolution of the family vacation, from "tin can tourists" in Model Ts to the rise of destinations like Disney World. Shows how the travel landscape has been transformed--and how it has changed the nation. Shows a "mule-cam" view of a ride into Grand Canyon in the 1950s. Tells how a desire to live like Civil War soldiers spawned the first summer camp for kids. Visits some of the most popular U.S. tourist attractions, from dude ranches to boardwalks."
