The Ballroom, Luray Caverns, Virginia ~ Nice roadside attraction card. Plastichrome by Colourpicture Publishers, Inc., Boston 15, Mass., distributed by General Sales Services. Production number P16161. This vintage postcard is unused and undated. It predates Zip Codes so 1950s is my best guess. Some light wear, VERY FINE.

Luray Caverns, originally called Luray Cave, is a large, celebrated commercial cave just west of Luray, Virginia, USA, which has drawn many visitors since its discovery in 1878. The underground cavern system is generously adorned with speleothems (columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, mirrored pools, etc). The caverns are perhaps best known for the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a lithophone made from solenoid fired strikers[citation needed] that tap stalactites of various sizes to produce tones similar to those of xylophones, tuning forks, or bells.
