Custer SD French Creek Inn Motel 1970s Postcard Unposted Chrome

This postcard was printed during the 1970s and shows the French Creek Inn Motel in Custer, South Dakota, with its roadside sign and motor lodge layout.

Custer sits near the Black Hills and major tourist routes, where motels developed to accommodate travelers visiting regional attractions such as Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore. By the late twentieth century, roadside lodging emphasized visibility, convenience, and standardized accommodations for automobile-based travel.

The image features a freestanding motel sign advertising room types and rates, positioned in front of a single-story motor lodge with parking directly outside guest rooms. A period automobile is visible near the units, and the surrounding open landscape and tree line reflect the rural tourism setting typical of western roadside lodging.
