In 1905, Middlebury was a vibrant town with a new main street, rebuilt after a series of devastating fires. Many of the earliest homes and public buildings were still significant features in the center of town. During the next thirty-five years, major changes took place in Middlebury, at Middlebury College, and in nearby villages that shaped the modern Addison County landscape. A series of historical postcards documented these important events. Around Middlebury, with nearly 200 postcard images from the period 1905 to 1940, describes the development of the area. Images from Brandon, Bristol, Vergennes, Lake Dunmore, and Bread Loaf are included in this engaging publication.

Nestled in the southwest corner of Vermont, Bennington is rich in history and natural beauty. On August 16, 1777, the Green Mountain Boys and militia from surrounding states defeated British troops at the Battle of Bennington. Like other small towns in New England, this agricultural community soon found its waterways dominated by large factories. When manufacturing declined in the early 1900s, the town reinvented itself as a tourist destination. Postcards promoting local scenery, quaint covered bridges, bustling downtown streets, modern amenities, and significant historic sites explained the town's importance to travelers and fostered local pride.

Caledonia County, located in Vermont's "Northeast Kingdom," comprises 17 towns and villages. Early settlers cleared heavily forested land, and communities slowly took form. Businesses such as mills and factories emerged along the many rivers. Each town and village had many special attributes--Ricker's sawmill in Groton cut timbers until 1965, Peacham provided granite for monuments across the country, and St. Johnsbury manufactured goods like scales and maple syrup. Hardworking and industrious, residents have endured fires, floods, extremely harsh winters, and droughts, and they continue to boast a resilient spirit today.
