Bird's-Eye View of Loon Lake and Freedom, N.H., ca. 1934

(I'm finally caught up on the Vintage Photos Theme Park postings I missed while Ipernity was offline.)

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of by the lake.

"Birds Eye View, Loon Lake and Freedom, N.H. 9."

This area was the setting for the intriguing story of the mysterious House on Loon Lake, profiled in an episode of This American Life radio show (take a look at the assortment of ephemera found at the house, which includes an acquaintance card similar to the ones in my album).

This is a real photo postcard addressed on the other side to Mrs. Bruce Mather, Benton, Penna., and postmarked in Kezar Falls, Maine, on August 24, 1934.

Handwritten message: "Howdy Darl, Here is where we are getting all our swimming exercise. We climbed Mt. Chocorua yesterday, We made it to return on Thursday from the White Mountains. On Monday morning we leave for Boston. Will be seeing you soon. Rhoda."

Printed on the other side: "Photograph Post Card from Studio of Eastern Illustrating Co., Belfast, ME."
