About this postcard

A tinted view of the springs in Wade Park, Cleveland, where visitors in early-1900s dress gather among large boulders and trees while horse-drawn carriages wait on the shaded road. Wade Park was laid out in the 1880s on land given by industrialist Jeptha Wade and became one of Cleveland's principal public parks, later the site of the Cleveland Museum of Art. The scene captures the park's popular spring and picnic grounds as a weekend outing destination reached by carriage.
