1948 Watkins Glen State Park Main Entrance New York

This vintage chrome print postcard captures the iconic Main Entrance of Watkins Glen State Park, one of the oldest public parks in the U.S., opened on July 4, 1863, by newspaperman Morvaiden Ells. The image features the park's stone archway and rustic buildings, beautifully crafted from local stone and set against the backdrop of the famous gorge.

A man and woman sit on a bench outside the entrance, enjoying the view, while a few automobiles are visible just inside the gates, adding a charming mid-century touch. The entrance leads to the renowned Gorge Trail, with its winding paths, stone bridges, and cascading waterfalls.

Celebrated for its history and natural beauty, this postcard is a nostalgic keepsake for collectors and admirers of New York’s scenic landmarks. This would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
