About this postcard

A paved road with a white guardrail curves through densely wooded hills, with a river valley visible below to the right. The caption identifies the route as the road between Brooklyn Bridge and Shakertown, in old Kentucky, and points travelers toward views of the Palisades of the Kentucky River, limestone cliffs known for redbud blossoms in spring. Shakertown refers to the Shaker community at Pleasant Hill, a communal settlement founded in the early 1800s.
