More from Old Home Week

Look out! When you hit "return" at the end of a title it publishes your post automatically.

Getting ready to scan a few old photos of Boston as a lead-in to some postcards coming tomorrow for PFF. I blogged about Old Home Week before. The book was written by James Ball Naylor and was published by the C.M. Clark Publishing Company of Boston in 1907.

But first I want to mention THIS Old Home photograph. The caption reads: "Old Chain Bridge, Newburyport, Massachusetts - First Suspension Bridge in America."


I hate to think how many times I drove over the new bridge in Newburyport unaware of this bit of history regarding the old one.
