About This Vintage Postcard

Perched at an elevation of 2,300 feet, this mid-century view depicts the historic Summit House at the crest of Jacob's Ladder. Once a premier destination for early "auto-tourists" traveling through the Berkshire Mountains, the site offered travelers a full-service experience including a gift shop, a restaurant serving dinner, and a distinctive wooden observation tower for panoramic views of the Massachusetts wilderness. The scene is a perfect snapshot of the golden age of the American road trip along Route 20.
