'Information and travel guide to Bear Mountain Park'

Antique tourist brochure with pictorial bird's eye view map, c1929

A pictorial bird’s-eye view tourist map of Bear Mountain Park, issued c.1929 by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission. Founded in 1915 following major land donations by Edward Harriman, Bear Mountain Park became one of the earliest large-scale public recreation areas in New York State, promoting conservation, hiking, and scenic tourism along the Hudson River. The map highlights roads, trails, viewpoints, and visitor facilities in an engaging illustrated style, reflecting the growth of motor tourism in the interwar years. A charming and historically significant piece of American park ephemera.
