Hi, I am Jim, I love Kentucky, and traveling in and around Kentucky! I also love the entire country, and all of the beautiful and strange places here and there! This blog covers the overlooked, forgotten, and underrated places, people, and moments in history in America, with a focus on Kentucky! It will cover great tourists stops, books about people and history, and include photos and postcard scans.

Old Postcard: Waverly Hills Sanitorium, Louisville
I will have to write more about Waverly Hills in Louisville, probably around October, but I thought I would put up a scan of this cool postcard.
Thanks to the "Ghost Hunters" TV show (and other similar shows) this Kentucky landmark has recently become very famous as a haunted site.

I collect old postcards of asylums, state hospitals, and sanitariums, where may I ask did you find this? I've been looking for one forever.
Hey Erin, good to hear from ya! I bought that one several years ago... I think I bought it at a stamp show in Lexington, but I am not totally sure. There is a GREAT stamp shop in Louisville that has a LOT of old postcards (Collectors Stamp Ltd.). Those guys have a LOT of great Kentucky and Louisville postcards. Have you checked there?
