Snapshot of the Past: Sailing on the Toms River off Beachwood
Posted by beachwoodhistoricalalliance on March 11, 2009
Beachwood postcard sent in 1956.
Above we can see a typical scene common in the mid-twentieth century and today from any vantage point on the Beachwood waterfront. This postcard was cancelled in 1956 and its backside reveals a little snippet of one family’s life at the time as well as the long heritage of Beachwood’s 4th of July festivities. If anyone has any further information about anything listed therein, please e-mail us at beachwoodhistoricalalliance@gmail.com.
The text of this card has been typed out and is visible beneath the image.
Have had a pleasant visit over the 4th. Bob is coming Sat- to take us home on Monday.
Love from us both

you should try to get in touch with some beople from the beachwood yacht club, they had a whole wall of photos dating way way back…..i remember when i was a kid seeing a photo of my dad around age 11 or 12 and he is 63 now so the photos are around the same time as the postcard
