About this postcard

The view looks into the cavern chamber known as Aladdin's Palace, where large stalactites hang above a sandy floor. The formations appear in reds, yellows, and blues under the cave's display lighting, and the passage recedes into illuminated depths. Massanutten Caverns was a commercial show cave near Harrisonburg in the Shenandoah Valley, and color-tinted cave views were common souvenirs for tourists touring the region's caverns.
