Missouri’s story isn’t just found in history books; it’s captured in the saturated colors and handwritten scrawl of vintage postcards. Early postcards highlight Missouri’s identity as the “Gateway to the West.”
Images of bustling St. Louis levee fronts and steamships on the Missouri River tell a tale of commerce and westward expansion. As the 20th century progressed, the focus shifted to the “Mother Road.” Postcards of neon-lit motels in Springfield and the iconic 66 Drive-In represent the golden age of American travel and Missouri’s role as a roadside destination.
These historic postcards are not all about the big cites and resort areas. Our historic postcards also showcased the events in small-town Missouri, like this one in Monett..
