Vintage Photographs

Before Disneyland, before Seaworld, & even before Las Vegas; when the new citizens of a young country took a break from hard work, they embarked upon the Great American Vacation. Take a look at the vacation destinations of yesteryear - as captured by amateur photographers, like your great-grandparents. Experience the closeness of U.S. National Park attractions, before they were closed off to visitors.

Hike the trails of Yosemite National Park in 1905. Take a road tour of Yellowstone National Park in 1938. Cruise along US Highway 66 from Chicago to L.A. in 1956 in your Pontiac V8. See San Francisco California right after the 1906 Earthquake.

 Gas is cheap, the new highway roads are smooth, and the scenic views are unspoiled. Travel Well !
