History of Braddock Heights, Maryland
In the "good ole days" Braddock was a resort town. There were several items of interest to keep the people getting away for the summer to enjoy. A dance hall. Carousel house with hand carved horses. A ski lodge and what was to become the oldest skating rink in the USA until it was burned down. There was also a trolley that would bring people up the mountain from the towns of Frederick, Jefferson and Brunswick.

It'd be cool to find some old postcard images of the resort to add to this post. I didn't know this about Braddock Heights

I have old postcards that I'm going to add.
DeleteWelcome. I wonder where the Braddock name came from.
ReplyDeleteWish someone would rebuild a rink up there! I miss that old place.
