Maritime Marion Massachusetts
Marion's relationship with the ocean has been the defining element in the small town's development since its settlement as Sippican in America's colonial era. Since 1678, generation after generation of Marion families have relied upon the opportunities a port and sea provide in both life and industry.

Picture Postcard of Marion
The humble postcard is the stuff of this visual tour of Marion, Massachusetts, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This period coincided with the golden age of postcards (roughly 1898-1920), when millions upon millions of these penny souvenirs were mailed near and far all over the globe. Thankfully, many were stuffed into cigar and shoe boxes for later generations to rediscover, collect, and share. Selected from the collections of longtime Marion residents and summer visitors, A Picture Postcard History of Marion, Massachusetts is a capsule portrait of a New England coastal town that, despite dramatic changes all around, has managed to preserve its charms.
