Popularity of Picnic – Picnic Baskets
During the Victorian period, picnics was a very popular tradition. In those days, people traveled with a picnic basket and picnic blanket. The picnic basket was full of food for an outdoor meal. The blanket covered the ground and served as a dry surface for the food, beverages, and basket. People gathered together for a meal in an outdoor setting such as a park or at the beach. It was family time for rest, relaxation while enjoying the surrounding outdoors.
In the early 1900s, a patent was submitted for the picnic table created by Charles H. Nielsen. The design was a portable, collapsible table. Families could transport the table with them to their picnic destination. The creation of the picnic table elevated the picnic meal off of the ground. At the same time, the establishment of additional US national and state parks, as well as national forests, grew in numbers. Permanent picnic table structures were installed in these newly designated state or federal parks and forest regions. This led to a greater number of Americans traveling to these destinations with their picnic baskets, outdoor games, and children in tow.
Family gatherings were not just limited to backyards and parks. Picnic meals expanded to beaches, rivers, lakes, ballparks, and many other areas. The family was on the go. Americans loved the outdoors scene.
