Description
“135 Miles of the Most Beautiful Scenery in the Eastern States…Perfect roads, and freedom from city traffic conditions make this an ideal section for the motoring tourist.” – pg 2.
This engaging guide to New York’s historic Cherry Valley Turnpike was issued in 1930 by the Cherry Valley Turnpike Association, located in Waterville, New York. A centerfold map highlights the 135-mile route between Albany and Syracuse (with insets of each), noting distances between points and notable stops along the way. The front covers present a more lively pictorial map, credited to Osborne Mayer, that emphasizes notable events and local Native American history. Persuasive copy text and captioned photographs offer a tempting overview of the route’s many attractions, scenic beauty, and robust traveler amenities. Printed at the Times Print Shop (also in Waterville).
