About this postcard

The card shows the great stone Roosevelt Arch spanning the road at Gardiner, Montana, with its inscription "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People" above the opening, a low stone wall and fence alongside, and a small red-roofed building visible through the arch. The arch, dedicated in 1903 by President Theodore Roosevelt, marks the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park and was built of local basalt with a concrete cap. The caption names it as the northern entrance to the park.
