1961 General Store Pikes Peak Ghost Town Colorado Springs, CO Postcard

About This Vintage Postcard

This color postcard features the interior of the "old-time general store" at Pikes Peak Ghost Town in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The image showcases a dense collection of 19th-century Americana, including mannequins in period dress, a "Shoe Sale $1.00" sign, vintage advertisements (such as Dr. Miles' Nervine), high-button shoes, corsets, and various dry goods that recreated the atmosphere of a gold rush-era "super market."
