Fred Bath and his brothers operated a brewery manufacturing company making beer and ale starting in 1872.
On June 14, 1873, to celebrate the Grand Opening of his new brewery, Fred put on a summer extravaganza at his Summer Gardens down near the railroad bridge. A few weeks later, to celebrate the 97th anniversary of America's Independence, Fred held a July 4th celebration that included a bowling alley at his Summer Gardens. I'm fairly positive this alley was a ten pinnet or box ball type, or some other arcade contraption since it was a temporary celebration. |
