This vintage postcard is featured in the essay, “A Tale of Two New Deals.” Read how Civilian Conservation Corps workers built the stone stairways, bridges, and walkways that still guide visitors through Watkins Glen’s narrow gorge today, work completed during the Depression era of the 1930s. An early view of Jacob’s Ladder, predating much of the CCC’s later stonework. Full story: postedpast.com/2025/01/29/a-tale-of-two-new-deals/
