Using over 240 postcards, the book shows how Hampton went from a farming and fishing community to a residential community and tourist destination. The postcards, some extremely rare, were selected from the Tuck Museum’s extensive collection.
In this publication, the landscape of Hampton is shown through postcards, as Hampton changed with the coming of the railroad, trolley, and interstate. Nature also played a part, as development changed the shoreline and the current at the Hampton River altered the harbor area. The cards selected date from the early 1900s to the 1950s.
