1905 Grant's Coffin Mammoth Cave Kentucky

Printed in 1905, this undivided back postcard features the intriguingly named “Grant’s Coffin” deep within Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. A natural rock formation eerily shaped like a coffin, it became one of the cave’s most talked-about sights during the early days of American tourism. By the early 20th century, Mammoth Cave had already achieved fame as the world’s longest known cave system, drawing curious visitors who marveled at its shadowy chambers and silent formations. This card, with its subdued tones and pre-1907 undivided back format, is a true relic from a time when postcards were as much a souvenir as the journey itself.

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