Belmont Lake State Park, Picnic Grounds (Visions of the Past)

Visions of the Past – The picnic grounds at Belmont Lake State Park, circa 1940. This hand colored linen postcard was published by the Tomlin Art Company, in Babylon, NY. Postmarked to a friend in Stamford, Connecticut, the sender of the postcard wrote “Hello. Do you like to exchange view cards with me?” The crowds of eager picnickers are not a good example of the social distancing that we need to defeat the COVID-19 epidemic of 2020. But, it is a good example of what we can look forward to in the future.
Postcard from the historic collections of the Town of Babylon History Museum, Town of Babylon, NY.
