REMARK: This real photo postcard contains no caption on the front. However, the grandstand structure and fencing in the photograph are identical to other known photographs of the Mineral Springs horse racing track. It is believed the the dirt road on the left side of the photograph is present day Beam Street, which would mean that this photograph is looking westward.
Historical information concerning the Mineral Springs Horse Racing Track can be found in the following New York Times article titled "Indiana Soldiers Seize a Race Track; With Fixed Bayonets Prevent Racing at Mineral Springs and Drive Away Spectators," published on page 10 of the Wednesday, October 23, 1912, issue.
