This vintage hand-colored postcard captures a serene moment at Cypress Gardens in Moncks Corner, near Charleston, South Carolina. A man and woman glide through the reflective blackwater swamp in a canoe, paddled by a guide at the back, surrounded by the towering cypress trees that give the gardens their name.
Cypress Gardens opened to the public in 1931 and has long been celebrated for its striking natural beauty. The gardens’ moss-draped cypress trees and calm waterways have made it a favorite location for photographers, filmmakers, and nature lovers. The site has appeared in films such as The Notebook and The Patriot and has been featured in numerous national magazines.
This postcard is a charming collectible for anyone who loves Southern landscapes, historic gardens, or vintage postcards that capture the peaceful beauty of nature in a bygone era.
