Now for Some History: July 1922


This postcard from July 20, 1922, depicting Huletts Landing, was mailed from Silver Bay NY.

Sometimes the most interesting part of an old postcard is what was written on it. Many thanks to Russ Considine for providing this glimpse into the summer of 1922. Here is what was written on the back:

“Have come to Silver Bay Y.M.C.A Conference and I never dreamed it was so nice. I am having a fine time. Hope to see you when I get back. Was so busy before I went away. – Amanda”

Postmarked: July 20, 1922 Silver Bay NY

“I never dreamed it was so nice,” were the words that I think we would still agree with today! (Click images to see full-scale.)
