The Kennebunks in Season (Postcard History) by Steven Burr

The Kennebunks in Season (Postcard History) by Steven Burr

Tourists have flocked to the beaches and hotels of the Kennebunks for more than one hundred years. At the dawn of the twentieth century, postcards that showcased the area s attractions were popular with visitors as mementos and as an inexpensive means of communication. Today, the historic postcards that survive provide a look back at the Kennebunks of an earlier era. The Kennebunks in Season contains almost two hundred postcard images featuring the early hotels and businesses that catered to the tourist trade in Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Cape Porpoise, along with the popular local attractions and prominent homes of the area. Also included are rare images of the motel courts that began in the late 1920s along Route 1 from Kennebunk to today s Arundel, then North Kennebunkport.

Burr, Steven: - Local resident and historian Stephen Burr has brought together over two hundred images which show us how much, and also how little, has changed in Kennebunk over the last century. The photographs are taken from the collection of the late Kenneth Joy, and were donated upon his death to the Kennebunk Free Library Association. The images many rare and previously unpublished- lead us on a vivid journey into our past and give us an intimate glimpse of the people, places, and events which have defined Kennebunk over the decades.
