Colonial Beach, a town on the Potomac River in Westmoreland County, Virginia, drew summer visitors from Washington and the surrounding region for much of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This wide view takes in the long pier and the pavilions that lined the shore, showing how the waterfront was built up to serve bathers, boaters and day-trippers. Resort towns like this one grew quickly after railroads and steamboats made the river accessible, and their piers were the main gathering places for leisure. Notice how the open water and the layout of the structures suggest the social life of a steamboat-era holiday destination.
