A Moment in Monrovia History: A Tally Ho Party at Baxter's Livery Stable, c. 1903

This c. 1903 photo shows a Tally Ho party outside John A. Baxter's Fashion Stables on East Lemon Avenue, a livery, feed, and sale business run by proprietor John Baxter. Tally Ho outings were group rides in a large horse-drawn coach, often to picnics, races, resorts, or country inns. They were fashionable social outings in the late-19th-century. From the Myron Hotchkiss collection. See full details here.
