In this wonderful collection of images, discover Port Huron as it
once was. Although Port Huron is now referred to as the "Maritime
Capital of the Great Lakes," its initial growth happened because it
was a point where roads, rails, and water all met to create the
center of commerce it became. Return to a time when people rode
streetcars and interurbans, took day trips to Detroit on ships such
as the Tashmoo and the Greyhound; when they worked and shopped in
downtown stores; and when they lived in diverse ethnic
neighborhoods such as South Park and the First Ward. Many of the
postcards seen here were mailed at or near the beginning of the
20th century and were a way to communicate basic information
between friends and family. These images have now returned to
introduce a new generation to what Port Huron once was. In an age
where e-mails instantly travel back and forth, it can be hard to
imagine how those receiving these messages anxiously awaited what
messages arrived with these penny postcards.
