1950s Cinderella, Enchanted Forest Adirondacks, Old Forge, New York

Cinderella: Original Storybook Lane, Enchanted Forest of the Adirondacks, Old Forge, New York Postcard.

Step into the magic of 1956 with this vintage postcard featuring Cinderella’s House, one of the original attractions from Storybook Lane at the Enchanted Forest of the Adirondacks in Old Forge, New York.

The scene shows Cinderella in her humble “cinder” state, seated by a stylized, oversized fireplace before her transformation. Storybook Lane was designed to bring classic nursery rhymes and fairy tales to life, and Cinderella was among the very first displays, capturing the imagination of children and adults alike. The whimsical, theatrical design reflects the vision of Russell Patterson, whose artistry shaped the park’s enchanting early atmosphere.

Published by The Kiefer Co., Old Forge, New York, with photography by Fynmore Studio, this postcard preserves a piece of mid-century amusement park history. The Enchanted Forest opened in 1956 and was later expanded and rebranded as Enchanted Forest Water Safari in 1988, but parts of the original Storybook Lane still survive.

This unused, uncirculated card offers collectors a charming glimpse of the park’s original fairy-tale magic, making it a nostalgic keepsake for fans of early theme park design, classic storytelling, and Adirondack history. This would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
