Nantasket Beach and Paragon Park | Postcards From the Past
About this episode
This episode shares the history of Nantasket Beach and Paragon Park through vintage postcards sent by a listener.
For this installment of Postcards From the Past , I have two vintage postcards that were sent to me by a friend and podcast listener, M. Green. He included a handwritten note explaining that they show Paragon Park and Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts, a place once well-known and deeply loved by generations of people from the Boston area. He thought the postcards would be interesting to share with everyone through Ancestral Findings, and he was right. I have been running Ancestral Findings since 1995 as a genealogy hobby that I enjoy. My wife helps with the free lookups, but otherwise it is just me researching, writing, recording the podcast, and sharing the history I find along the way. That makes it especially meaningful when a reader or listener takes the time to send something from a personal collection for the rest of us to see. These postcards did not come from a museum display or a planned research project. M. Green had them, thought of this series, and mailed them to me because he believed their history was worth sharing. I agree with him... Podcast Notes: https://ancestralfindings.com/nantasket-beach-and-paragon-park-postcards-from-the-past/ Ancestral Findings…
