About this postcard

Rowboats carrying men and women in summer whites drift across a pond in Glen Miller Park, while a crowd of onlookers lines the tree-shaded bank behind them. The printed caption names the scene as Glen Miller Park in Richmond, Indiana, one of that city's long-established public parks and a popular early-20th-century spot for boating and promenading. The date written on the front places the outing in the spring of 1906.
