About this postcard
A two-story white frame and brick house with a steep red roof, green shutters, and a small columned porch, set among flowering trees and lawn. The card names it as the Old Lincoln Homestead near Harrisonburg, Virginia — the seat of the Virginia Lincolns, ancestors of Abraham Lincoln, who settled in the Shenandoah Valley in the 1760s; the brick dwelling itself is traditionally dated to about 1800. The house stands in Rockingham County and has long been a local landmark visited for its association with the sixteenth president's family.
