Juniata River Near Amity Hall, Perry County, Pennsylvania, ca. 1930s

Juniata River Near Amity Hall, Perry County, Pennsylvania, ca. 1930s
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of the long and winding road (road photos, winding or otherwise).

Caption: "The Juniata Near Amity Hall. 9."

This is a real photo postcard with a scenic view of the Juniata River in Perry County, Pennsylvania. The road in the photo is now US 22/US 322 (U.S. Route 22 concurrent with U.S. Route 322). The location is near Amity Hall, which refers to a landmark inn that closed in the 1980s, suffered a fire in 2009, and has since been torn down.

The tire cover on the back of the automobile parked along the road says, "See Bob" and "Auto Supplies." The license plate on the car is 69M52, and I believe it's a Pennsylvania plate. Unfortunately, I was unable to make out the year, which appeared on license plates at the time the photo was taken.

On the other side of the card is an Azo stamp box (squares in each of the four corners), which indicates that the photo likely dates to sometime between the 1920s and the 1940s. There's no message, address, stamp, or postmark on this card, but other copies that I spotted online had postmarks dating to 1935 and 1939.

What a pretty ride it would have been to motor along beside this lovely river!
And speaking of the river - that's quite a broad, significant looking flow! I have never heard of of this river before - thanks for the link!
