It’s the Grahamville ready to take passengers across the Ocklwaha River. The community of Grahamville is now gone from signs and maps. The area is along the Ocklawaha River and Salt Springs Highway in Marion County northeast of Silver Springs.

This postcard wasn’t mailed but has a “from “Billie Kochase”” on the front and on the back is “Miss Momye Sue McGhee Rex Timm”. Otherwise this postcard appears to be from around 1900 to 1910.

Here’s a map showing where Grahamville was:
