About this postcard

The card pictures an iron-railed observation platform perched atop one of the Natural Chimneys, with visitors looking out over the valley; the printed caption names it "Observation Platform At Top Of Natural Chimneys - Mt. Solon, Va." Natural Chimneys are a group of limestone rock towers in Mount Solon, Virginia, now protected as Natural Chimneys Regional Park. The site is also known for its long-running annual jousting tournament, held there since the 19th century.
