Frequently we share a different historic image on the Essex on Lake Champlain Facebook page and invite our viewers to play some Vintage Essex Trivia.

Do you recognize this stretch of shoreline on Lake Champlain? The caption reads: “Shore Line South of Essex, NY.”

Many in the community knew it right away! That stone wall is still present today.

Here are some comments from the community:

Cj Pier: I remember working on the farm with Larry and all of it was still intact, great memories for sure

Peter Pierce: South farm

Marc Hayward: South Farm. I lived there in the early 80s.

Mary Wade: Looks like South Farm, now Pataki’s!

You can take a look at the backside of the postcard below. It was never sent, so there are no messages, dates, or postage marks.
