A Picture Postcard History of Marion, Massachusetts
The humble postcard is the stuff of this visual tour of Marion, Massachusetts, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This period coincided with the golden age of postcards (roughly 1898-1920), when millions upon millions of these penny souvenirs were mailed near and far all over the globe. Thankfully, many were stuffed into cigar and shoe boxes for later generations to rediscover, collect, and share. Selected from the collections of longtime Marion residents and summer visitors, A Picture Postcard History of Marion, Massachusetts is a capsule portrait of a New England coastal town that, despite dramatic changes all around, has managed to preserve its charms.
