Buffets, Bands and Beaches – Socializing on the Severn
July 22 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
$75.25
Bay Ridge Resort was developed in 1879 as a grand Victorian summer resort with a large frame hotel on the bluff near Tolly Point. Weekends were filled with USNA bands, lawn games, live animals, and frivolilties for those wealthy enough to come by ferry or rail. In the mid-1900s, Carr and Sparrow beaches were the birthplace of jazz and blues performers such as James Brown, B.B. King, Tina Turner and others. Neither exists today but their history gives a stark contrast to the hardship of life on the water during those years.
