Edgecomb Historical Society presents ‘Edgecomb Maine: The Postcard View’
On Sunday, Nov. 9 at 3 p.m. at the Edgecomb Town Hall, speaker Kevin Johnson, photo archivist, will highlight historical views of Edgecomb, Maine and the surrounding area through postcards photographed during the early 1900s. The fascinating series of photo postcards was created by the Eastern Illustrating and Publishing Company to promote tourism. The extensive postcard collection is currently owned by the Penobscot Marine Museum of Searsport, Maine.
Viewers will enjoy scenes of bygone days in Edgecomb. They may recognize businesses, homes, and local landmarks as they appeared during the first half of the 1900s, when streets were unpaved and lined with elms and horse-drawn carriages outnumbered cars.
This event is free, although donations are welcome.
