Decorative wood slice with decoupage horse image titled 'Trees of Mystery Shrine of Thor Redwoods'

This piece represents mid-20th century American roadside souvenir art, specifically from the Trees of Mystery attraction in Klamath, California, which opened in 1946. The attraction became famous for its towering Paul Bunyan statue and redwood forest trails, selling nature-themed souvenirs to tourists traveling along Highway 101. Wood slice art with decoupage images became popular tourist memorabilia from the 1950s through the 1970s, combining natural materials with printed imagery to create affordable keepsakes. These items appeal to collectors of Americana, vintage roadside attraction memorabilia, and mid-century tourist souvenirs. The nostalgic charm and connection to a specific historical landmark make such pieces desirable for those interested in preserving California tourism history and folk art traditions.
