Trips South: 1938-1941

This home movie reel, Can 10879, captures family trips south from 1938 to 1941, likely across the U.S. South. Filmed in the late Depression and pre-WWII era, it may feature rural landscapes, small towns, highways, and coastal stops, shot in silent black-and-white or faded color. Personal moments—roadside picnics, car travel, or local sights—reflect leisure and exploration in a time of economic recovery, preserved as a nostalgic snapshot of American life before global conflict.
