About this postcard

The photograph shows the Natural Chimneys, a group of tall eroded limestone rock formations with a dark cave-like opening at their base, a grassy lawn in the foreground, and a small figure in white standing at the entrance. The printed caption identifies the site as Natural Chimneys at Mt. Solon, Virginia. These limestone formations in Augusta County are the centerpiece of Natural Chimneys Regional Park, long associated with the area's annual jousting tournament, traditionally dated to the early 19th century.
