Perfect Duluth Day

How would you like to take a trip over Duluth on the air line?

This picture postcard was mailed 110 years ago today — April 13, 1908 — from Minot, N.D. William Richert had just arrived in Douglas, N.D., presumably after a stay in Duluth, and sent the card to his brother Charles in Sublette, Ill. The card arrived on April 15.

A similar postcard featuring balloon riders, mailed a week later, was previously featured on Perfect Duluth Day. It’s become known as “Matt Damon Over Duluth” or “Two Guys Getting High on April 20.”
