Caption: "Silver Springs -- Florida, June 24, 1934." Grace McCarthy seated in a gazebo with a conical roof sheathed in grass or brush. Silver Springs, a series of artesian springs in Marion County, was Florida's first tourist attraction. The area began to attract visitors after the Civil War, in the late 1860s. In the late 1870s, entrepreneurs started offering glass-bottom boat tours of the springs. The locale became popular in the 1930s with film producers: several of the original Tarzan movies were filmed here, as was the Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954).

Caption: "California," c, 1917. The McCarthy's vehicle is squeezed into the tunnel carved through the California Tree, a Giant Sequoia in the Mariposa Grove of Yosemite National Park. The tunnel was cut through the tree in 1895 to facilitate travel on the road into the grove, and also as a tourist attraction. It is now the only living Giant Sequoia with a tunnel cut through it (so-called "tunnel trees"), the others having all fallen.
