Ausable Chasm opened for public visits in 1870, becoming one of the oldest continuously operating natural attractions in the United States.

Its fame grew significantly in the early 20th century when Hollywood discovered it as a filming location. Pearl White's 1914 serial film "The Perils of Pauline," inducted into the National Film Registry in 2008, featured scenes at Ausable Chasm, including a stunt double riding a horse off a cliff into the lake.

Other silent films shot at the location include "The Black Chasm" (1911), "The Spirit of the Gorge" (1911), and "Hurricane Hutch" (1921).

The moonlit depiction adds a romantic, theatrical quality reflecting the era's fascination with American natural landmarks. This postcard captures a period when Ausable Chasm was becoming a must-see destination for adventure and natural beauty.
