Historic society offers post card presentation
Estero Island Historic Society will usher in the new year with a special “Post Card Presentation” entitled, “Capturing A Reflection of the Past” on Monday, Jan. 11, at 7 p.m. at St. Raphael’s Parish Hall. We are extremely proud of the extensive collection of post cards we have acquired from our members through the years. Although many today can be acquired from e-Bay, most of ours are original and still have the one cent or four cent stamp for postage. A.J. Bassett and Ellie Bunting will be sharing some of these old post cards the Historic Society has collected over the years featuring “Vistas” of beautiful Estero Island. The narrated slide show will highlight post cards from different periods of our history from the 1920’s through the 1980’s. Post cards will be available for sale in packets of six.
A discussion of “Vistas” will be an upcoming topic which is part of the Historic Preservation Advisory Board’s future development for the town, as well as the current plaque designation for historic structures on the island.
