This postcard from the early 1900s shows the north end of the Mt Morris Highbanks in the Park. The postcard to the right shows a modern view taken from about the same location. |

 The most popular man-made feature of the Highbanks (with perhaps the exception of the swimming pool) is the Mt. Morris Dam. Completed in 1952, it is shown in this hand-drawn postcard published by J. Lee Folts of Mt Morris in the early 50's. The view is from the east bank downstream from the dam. |
 This real photo postcard is postmarked 1907. It was taken from the riverbed, looking north from about where a dam will be built almost a half century later. |
 The Whitmore House was a popular spot for tourists a century ago. This postcard is titled "River from Whitmore, Crow's Nest." The Whitmore stood just north of the restaurant that overlooks the dam. |
 The same view from a real photo taken during the winter. Some buildings near present day Mt. Morris can be seen in the distance to the right of the river. |
 As the message on this postcard indicates, the Highbanks was a good place to visit or spend a vacation. Vera had a "nice time" and so will modern visitors to the beautiful Mt. Morris Highbanks of Letchworth State Park! |
