RAILS TO THE CATSKILLS – POSTCARD HISTORY

RAILS TO THE CATSKILLS – POSTCARD HISTORY

Beginning in the late 19th century railroads and their stations, as well as steamboats, were painted and photographed to be reproduced as postcards. Before email, postcards were the popular way to let someone know you had arrived safely, or to send a greetings. Here, for your pleasure, are a few postcards of local rail and Hudson River scenes we have collected as part of our documentary, Rails to the Catskills.

Enjoy!
