Step back to the mid-century gateway of one of the Finger Lakes' most spectacular natural wonders. This view features the original rustic entrance to Watkins Glen State Park, noting on the back that the site was "visited by over a half million persons every season" during this era. Nestled against a towering, emerald hillside, the scene captures the park's early infrastructure and an American flag flying high, welcoming travelers to explore the eighteen waterfalls and dramatic gorge hidden within.
