This vintage postcard features a color photograph of the main entrance to My Old Kentucky Home State Shrine in Bardstown, Kentucky. The image shows five people dressed in period and mid-20th-century attire, capturing a charming southern hospitality scene on the steps of the historic Federal Hill mansion, built in 1795 by Judge John Rowan. This mansion inspired Stephen Collins Foster's famous song "My Old Kentucky Home," adding cultural and historical significance to the scene.
Printed as part of the Scenic and Historic Kentucky Kodachrome Series by the Kentucky Department of Public Relations, this postcard offers a vivid and nostalgic view of a beloved American landmark. The back includes a handwritten message, a 4-cent Abraham Lincoln U.S. postage stamp, and a postmark dated 1963 from London, Kentucky, adding to its collectible appeal. The postcard is a great addition for collectors interested in Americana, historic homes, or iconic southern heritage.
