Welcome to my collection of Linen Post Cards. When I was a child in the 50s my eccentric aunt Hannah sent Linen Post Cards to our house from her adventures. The simple watercolor effect they have gave me many hours of daydreams from her travels. I hope I can share a few with you. Yes cards and daydreams.

Greetings from VALLEY FORGE
PA.
Valley Forge lies 24 miles from Philadelphia on the banks of the Schuylkill River where the picturesque Valley Creek empties into it. Washington's Army laid encamped on theses hills from Dec. 19, 1777, until June 19, 1778,while the British occupied Philadelphia. No spot on Earth is so sacred in the History of the Struggle for Human Liberty as Valle Forge.

Greetings from the Great Smoky Mountains
NATIONAL PARK
Less than an hour away from Knoxville, the largest City in eastern Tennessee, highways start upward into the mountains, the Great Smokies, haze-haloed roof top of Eastern America.
In the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been reserved the opportunity of seeing the last remaining remnant of primeval Eastern American wilderness, beautiful beyond description and so rugged and lofty as to bar civilization's inroads, thus remaining until the present, unconquered and unspoiled.

Greetings from WYOMING
THE LAST OF THE OLD WEST
Wyoming is still the state where primitive nature may be found. Great mountain areas are unspoiled by human works and are reached by trails. Fish and Big game are abundant and great wide open unfenced prairies spread out for scores of miles. Here is the home of the dude ranch, the hunting camp, the park trips, the cowboy and co pony and many other colorful characteristics of the old West.
