Black Hills South Dakota Custer State Park Lodge Vintage Postcard 27731 Game Lodge, Custer State Park, Black Hills, South Dakota is featured in this richly colored postcard showing the stately State Game Lodge nestled among dense forest and stonework landscaping. The large lodge, with its red roof and multiple chimneys, sits prominently on a rise, overlooking a curved driveway and a stone bridge leading to the property. A small sign near the entrance identifies the building, adding a touch of detail to the setting. On the back, the card notes that the State Game Lodge served as the "Summer White House" for President Calvin Coolidge in 1927, during which he made his famous declaration, “I do not choose to run.” Distributed by Black Hills Post Card Co. of Deadwood and published by Curt Teich using the C.T. Art-Colortone method, this postcard captures both the historical significance and scenic beauty of this South Dakota landmark.
