Remembering Camp in the 1930s

Here’s something cool. Back in the early 1900s, the Albertype Company of Brooklyn, NY produced a number of postcards documenting scenes all around the country. Rockbrook Camp was apparently a favorite subject because we’ve found several cards from the 1930s highlighting scenes of camp. They are just excellent archival documents showing what camp was like in the early years.
Here we see a scene of the old horseback riding barn and paddling canoes on the French Broad River as it passes by camp. Don’t you just love them?!

I always love the old photos. It is somewhat mind-blowing to see that the landsports’ barn used to be horseback riding – obviously, the barn existed as a barn before it was the wonderful storage area we know today, but still, it’s weird to see the pictorial evidence.
