Every Monday we share an image on the Essex on Lake Champlain Facebook page and invite our viewers to play some Vintage Essex Trivia.
Take a look at this old postcard! Do you recognize the location — the caption tells us that it is the Crater Club Dock — has it changed much compared to today? Interesting to see the message written on the front…
I love seeing the people in the period clothing. When do you think the photograph was taken?
Here’s what the community already had to say:
Dianne Lansing: Interesting boats.
Don Seauvageau: I think some of those boats are still there
Below is the back side of the postcard. The postage mark tells us that it was mailed out from the Crater Club post office on August 5, 1910!
