Saugerties Post Cards

Many people have discovered that post cards of various Saugerties scenes from the past provide a nice glimpse into what Saugerties looked like way back when. Here is a collection that we hope keeps on growing. The bulk of the post cards on this site were scanned from cards made available to us by the Village Historian, Marjorie Block. Thanks also to Jack Wilsey and Ernie Mortusans for their contributions as well.

If you have a post card that you want to share by adding it to this collection, please contact the Webmaster via email (mcampbell@hvc.rr.com). If you send him a high-res computer image (e.g. jpg or png file), he will add it right away to this page.  If you have only a paper post card, you can mail it to him or arrange for it to be picked up, and he will scan it and return you both the post card and email you the scanned image.

Following are some links for additional Saugerties postcards, archived newspapers, and other Saugerties historical items:
