Postcards from Peacham’s Past
We are exhibiting an exceptional group of postcards of Peacham made by the Eastern Illustrating and Publishing Company in the early 20th century, courtesy of Penobscot Marine Museum. Based in Belfast, Maine, this company sent photographers throughout New England, making beautiful, high quality images of many towns. Meant to be sent as greetings to friends and family, they have become invaluable records of small town buildings and landscapes. These postcards also played a significant role in establishing Peacham’s reputation as one of the most iconic, picturesque hill towns in Vermont. We will also exhibit the cameras used to make these images, as well as many additional postcards of Peacham from the PHA’s own collection.
