Unused, aging, linen-style Curteich-Chicago postcard 9A-H2477.  Though there’s nothing particularly unusual about these Falls, we thought we would check the background and learned this from Wikipedia (condensed a bit):  “Hickory Nut Falls flows on Fall Creek and is part of Chimney Rock Park, privately owned until May 2007, when  North Carolina completed purchase of the park.  Chimney Rock Park and Hickory Nut Gorge are being developed into a state park.  Prior to 2007, the park and falls was owned by the Morse family.  National attention came to the park and the falls when it was featured in the 1992 film The Last of the Mohicans. The park was heavily featured at the end, and the final fight scene was filmed at the brink of the falls.”  That little bit of history for you.  Grade: 1
