Trip West, 1930s Journey

This home movie, labeled Can 10561, likely filmed in the 1930s or 1940s, chronicles a family’s westward trek across the U.S. Shot in faded color or black-and-white, it may capture dusty highways, sprawling plains, or mountain vistas—perhaps Route 66 or stops like the Rockies—via a dashboard-mounted camera. Personal moments—picnics, car repairs, or scenic detours—reflect Depression-era wanderlust, preserved in an amateur reel of exploration and nostalgia.
