Frequently we share a different historical or vintage image on the Essex on Lake Champlain Facebook page and invite our viewers to play some Vintage Essex Trivia.
Take a look at the most recent we shared above! When do you think this vintage postcard dates? Recognize this beach? (Before you saw the caption!) Have you ever been there?
Here’s what the community had to say:
Melissa Jones: I have swum to Canon Point many times as our Property starts at the right end of the beach. Anyone know the date of this photo?
Matt C. Morian: Is this close to the Crater Club’s “beach” ?
The back side of the postcard is below. It was never sent, so there is not a postage mark to help date the photograph. I’m guessing early 1900s. When do you think it was taken? If you’ve been there, has the beach changed at all?
