Description
The MHS Postcard Collection is one of the best, and possibly most entertaining, way of looking into the history of the Town. Each postcard is a little cultural time capsule.
Most contain images of the day -- often events and scenes that you wouldn't consider postcard material today. Many of our donated postcards show the correspondence of the times - short dispatches from our town across the decades.
