In the late 1800s, Tolchester Beach was a popular tourist destination for residents of Baltimore and other areas served by the Chesapeake Bay steamships.[3] The beach had hotels, restaurants, games, picnics, horse-racing, and an amusement park with a merry-go-round and a roller coaster.[3]
Some of the steamships that served Tolchester Beach were the Emma Giles[6] and Louise.[3]
