Description

Yorktown is one of the northernmost towns in Westchester County. This volume of vintage postcards draws from a time when the railroad was a predominant fixture in the community and travelers flocked to summer hotels and lakeside bungalow colonies. Often thought of as ephemera, something to be used and thrown away, postcard images have proven over time to be a valuable document of a time and place. For those who were visitors and those who received postcards, these striking images capture the past in terms of Yorktown's architecture, entertainment, commerce, and community.

Author Biography:

Yorktown draws primarily from the collection of the Yorktown Museum, as well as two major collectors within the Taconic Postcard Club. Town supervisor Linda G. Cooper coauthored Yorktown in the Images of America series. For this volume, she partnered with Yorktown Museum assistant curator Adele Hobby, Yorktown director of planning John Tegeder, and Susan Hack-Lane, the president of both the Friends of the Yorktown Museum and the Taconic Postcard Club, to gather and write material for this book. It is their hope that this volume of postcard images will encourage an interest in Yorktown's heritage and place in history.
