Saegertown Post Cards

***PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE REPLACING SOME OF OUR IMAGES ON THIS WEBSITE AND THEY MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE, PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER.***

Many of the post cards shown, are real picture post cards. Whenever the card has a postmark, I will put that date in the caption. Every post card listed on this website has the two-word POST CARD printed on the back side. Since these are vintage cards, I used the vintage designation post card, instead of the modern terminology postcard. At the top of this page, we also have some government issued Postal Cards. Meadville, Pa. post cards, are listed on the Meadville Post Card Page. Other local towns’ post cards, are listed on the More Local Post Cards Page.
