Greetings 1

This modern "Greetings from Lynn" post card has numerous views of Lynn. There is a random sail boat, convenient parking, General Electric, Gannon Golf Course, the Saugus Iron Works (was once in Lynn), Churches, Hospitals, the Lynn Historical Society on Green Street,  Modern Schools like Classical on the Common, High Rock Tower, Lynn Shore Drive and more. Who wouldn't want to visit and perhaps, relocate to such a beautiful community?

old home week

Old Home Week was always celebrated in Lynn. This week invited those who moved from Lynn to revisit, to personally witness what they've missed by moving away and to entice them to move back. Should we sponsor an, "Old Home Week?"

greetings from Lynn

greet fro Lynn

These late Victorian era greetings feature the faces of women within the lettering. Was this to entice young men to relocate to Lynn to work in the shoe factories knowing that there were all these beautiful women waiting for them?
