In the 1950s, TWA (Trans World Airlines) created a series of postcards and posters advertising landmarks close to their travel destinations. This c. 1955 postcard advertises Muir Woods near San Francisco. "Along the way of TWA ... Muir Woods California Near San Francisco. Near San Francisco, served directly by TWA, the giant redwood trees of Muir Woods, thousands of years old, grow to tremendous heights in a serene cathedral-like setting." Have you ever been to Muir Woods? #TWA #MuirWoods #MuirWoodsNPS Image: TWA (Trans World Airlines) postcard, Lockheed L-049 Constellation, c. 1955, Gift of TWA Clipped Wings International, Inc., 2002.113.497
