Greetings from Point Lookout

Date
c. 1940s
State
Tennessee
City
Chattanooga
Format
Postcard

The card pairs Point Lookout with Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, and fills the lettering with scenic views. It belongs with Chattanooga-area material while retaining the mountain as the subject.

Point Lookout overlooks Chattanooga and the Tennessee River. A new incline railway opened in 1895 as developers made the mountain easier to visit, building on interest in the views and the area’s Civil War history.
