artiFACT Skyline Drive, Virginia Postcard

Skyline Drive, Virginia

Estimated value: $2-$8

This postcard likely dates from the linen era of the 1930s to 1950s, a period when Skyline Drive was newly constructed through the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia as part of a major New Deal public works initiative. The card reflects the era's enthusiasm for automobile tourism and newly accessible national parklands, as Americans celebrated the scenic highway as a symbol of modern progress and outdoor recreation.
