About this postcard

Bathers fill the outdoor swimming pool at Miller Park in Lynchburg, Virginia. A low fence and paved walk run across the foreground, a small red frame building stands at right, and large shade trees surround the basin. The scene captures a summer outing at one of the city's public parks. The sender's note reports a "swell time down here" in the Blue Ridge Mountains, written "Blue Ridage," a likely misspelling of Blue Ridge.
