It was a very interesting display of historical post cards as well as the rest of the museum articles. Hopefully, I can put up some of the photos I took at the museum.
They did NOT have any post cards for sale. However, I did get the name and telephone number of the person who is in charge of the Old Dominion Postcard Club, so I plan to contact him tomorrow.
Since Pocahontas was born here, there was a display about her and I took this photo.

Well, I have good news. I just got a return phone call from the Pocahontas State Park and they have post cards so I'm going to run over there today. It's very close by.

@IreneVincent Depending on where you live, postcards can be very hard to find nowadays.

@Asylum I have found only ONE place to purchase them, so yes, they are difficult to find. Someone told me that they can be purchased at Fort Lee, an Army Post near here, but I don't know if I can get on the post, since I'm not in the army.

Yes, used post cards from a long time ago. It was a nice display. Now I'm looking forward to going to the Old Dominion Post Card Show in November at a nearby college. They will have hundreds, maybe even thousands of new post cards for sale. I'm hoping to get quite a few there. Some, I understand will be 10 cents - 25 cents. Others will be more expensive. I have a list of some that I will be especially looking for.

Does your mother belong to Postcrossing.com ? She would probably enjoy exchanging post cards with people around the world. I'm enjoying it tremendously?

That is really cool. Is the post card exhibit close to you? I would love to see pictures of it? I have never ever heard of a post card exhibit before.
