Vintage Nome Postcards
We found a couple of vintage Nome postcards at an antique store not too long ago, including a postcard of the now-abandoned Nome School which we snapped on a whim while passing through Nome in 2005. We had to make some guesses on this card due to the handwriting — This postcard was sent on [...]
San Haven Postcard 1940
I found this postcard in a box at an antique store. It’s a postcard of San Haven Sanatorium in 1940. I was impressed that this postcard shows an overview of the grounds including the beautiful gardens and water feature which are now completely dry and overgrown. This postcard was sent by someone named Olga, who must [...]

The school shown here [...]
Waldorf Hotel 1911

Postcards from the Edge of North Dakota
Slope County This is a simple truth. There is no greater pleasure per penny than searching through a box of old postcards in an antique store. A little hard on the lower back if you’re wearing the wrong pair of shoes, but pleasurable none-the-less. Here are a few old postcards featuring scenes from Marmarth. CLICK [...]

Brantford, ND
Eddy County Inhabited as of 3/10 Brantford was established in 1910, two years before the Great Northern railroad arrived. Brantford reportedly had 200 residents in 1920, but slowly lost population over the years until the post office was finally closed in 1973. The following photos of Brantford today were contributed by Mark Johnson. His comments [...]
