Capital Park -- Augusta, Maine


Today Augusta's Police Station and new YMCA stand upon the ground where trotting races were once held at Augusta Park. The park was built in the 1850's but became a victim of the times and was converted to a general recreational park in the 1920's. By clicking on the image, you will see an early postcard depicting the trotting park and a racing program from 1894.
