This 1941 Kodachrome home movie, labeled "Richmond, Virginia-Cape May 1941," spans Memorial Day in Richmond—bus tours, downtown streets, a flag-lowering—and July 4 in Cape May, N.J. Expect POVs from tour buses over bridges, picnics, and Cape May’s boardwalk bustle—Ferris wheels, midget race cars, and seafood joints like Chris’s and Hogate’s. Shots of the Cape May Lighthouse, beach fishing, and a wrecked ship with “Henri’s” mingle with a steam train by a river, possibly Delaware Water Gap, in a pre-WWII jaunt.
