Postcards,once a convenient and easy way to communicate,inadvertently became a great way of preserving history.Through the cards of this exciting new collection, we areable to witness many moments in Clearfield historyincluding World War I soldiers marching down MarketSt., the 1936 flood, the collapse of the Nichols StreetBridge and the aftermath of the Opera House Fire. |
