Postcards from the Past
After two years of work, the Wanatah Historical Society postcard book has finally been published.
The beautiful all-color book contains 52 scenic Wanatah cards and 90 holiday greeting cards.
Every card in the book has some connection to Wanatah and its citizens. The original names, addresses and messages are included with every card.
The book was conceived and printed by our Society members, Audra Bailey Richardson, Jon Mack and Kathy Mack.
