Description: Elmira, NEW YORK - Rorick's Glen Amusement Park - Dancing Pavilion ARCHITECTURE: Elmira is a city in Chemung County, New York, US. The population was 29,200 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Chemung County. During the 1890s, a trolley company decided to open a park at Rorick's Glen on the south side of the Chemung River. A dedicated trolley line ran out along Water Street from downtown Elmira to the entrance of a foot bridge across the Chemung River near what is now Rorick's Glen Parkway. Once you crossed the foot bridge there were walking trails, rides, restaurant, gardens and a theater. Rorick's Glen, in its heyday, was the entertainment and dance center of Chemung County. In the evening the extensive floral and walking gardens were intensified with electric lighting. And, an evening boating excursion on the river was popular for young couples. The Rorick's Glen Park was very popular from 1900 until 1917, but unfortunately ended up closing in 1918. Today it is used as a boy scouts camp. This White Border Era (1915-30) postcard is in good condition. C. T. American Art No. A-52427. Published by Rubin Bros., Elmira, N.Y.
