A club of motorists in Washington, Georgia, gathers for a day's outing in this photograph from the early 1900s, a small-town scene far from the big-city showrooms of the era. Motor clubs like this one formed while cars were still a novelty in rural Georgia, and a "run" was both a social event and a test of endurance on roads that were often unpaved, dusty, and hard on tires and engines. Images like this one show how quickly the automobile moved from curiosity to community pastime, even in towns with few paved streets.
