USA ~ Rainbow Falls - Watkins Glen State Park - New York ~

... Lovely retro-themed poster postcard printed by Lantern Press... the most impressive and picturesque waterfall on the Gorge Trail is Rainbow Falls... it consists of 150 feet of cascades, which fill the gorge with a constant mist, providing ideal conditions for spotting rainbows on sunny days, hence its name... it is one of the famous falls to visit, with lush green environments and stunning views... Watkins Glen is rightly one of the most popular natural attractions in western New York State... Thanks a lot Andrene!(✿◠‿◠) Must have been well worth the climb!😅

USA ~ Fort Stanwix National Monument Rome - NY ~

... Great aerial view of a colonial fort known today as "the fort that never surrendered"... designed in the shape of a four-pointed star... some 250-plus years later, Fort Stanwix is a standing reminder of its rich history... it’s like a time machine, seeing the military arms, clothing, hardware, Indian artifacts and furnishings from the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War periods that take you back in history.... the monument welcomes thousands of daily visitors to its grounds... there are a lot of special events and programs... postmarked with a cancellation from the site itself,👍 what makes it even more special... Big Thanks once more Andrene!!(✿ ♥‿♥)

Fort Stanwix National Monument that visitors experience today is relatively modern, built between 1974 and 1976 as a modified reconstruction of the original fort, based on the conjectural location of the 18thC earth and timber fort which previously stood on the site.

The site is historically significant from 1758 to 1781 for its associations with the American Revolution. Named for General John Stanwix, the Fort was built by the British to protect the portage between the Mohawk River and Wood Creek in New York during the French and Indian War.
