About this postcard

A paved highway sweeps along a grassy, flower-dotted verge toward a wide sandy beach and the blue water of Lake Michigan. Trees and summer cottages line the left side of the road, and a low pier or breakwater sits on the horizon. The caption places the view on the stretch between Two Rivers and Manitowoc, neighboring Lake Michigan towns that drew summer visitors to their shoreline cottages and beaches. By the late 1930s this route served as a resort corridor along Wisconsin's lakeshore.
