1940 Campbell Mansion Interior Bethany New York

This 1940 postcard captures a tender and historically rich scene from the Campbell Mansion in Bethany, West Virginia. Prominently featured is the wooden cradle in which Alexander Campbell’s 14 children were rocked—a quiet yet powerful symbol of family life in one of early America’s most influential religious households. The simple design of the cradle reflects the era's craftsmanship and domestic values, nestled among the period furnishings of the stately home. Built between 1790 and 1840, the mansion served not only as a residence but also as a center of faith, learning, and hospitality. Published by L. C. Knee of Wheeling, this postcard preserves the warmth and personal history behind a nationally significant landmark.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
