Minnesota collection #1

Many thanks to Rick Wolfe for his incredible efforts to scan and share digital copies of the 925 postcards below (arranged by town, or if there’s no town, then by lake). To view any of the images, click on the link, then click on the back arrow to return to this page.

Note: You can use your web browser’s search or find function and type in keywords to assist you in finding a specific resort or lake (usually under “Edit” in the browser’s upper left hand corner). Whenever possible, the images are listed alphabetically by town, then by lake, then by resort, and finally the estimated year of the postcard (either the cancel date, or the stamp box style). The year listed is an approximate date, and may not be when the postcard’s picture was taken (it’s based on Rick’s expertise with postmarks and stamps). In a few cases car makes and models, fashion trends, or other details helped estimate the date.
