Ohio's Lake Erie Shore began to blossom as a resort area in the mid 1800s, and came into full bloom around the turn of the century when the prospering steamboat navigation industry started to bring thousands of tourists to Put-in-Bay, Cedar Point, and the spiritual retreats at Lakeside on Marblehead.

Little Windows Into Yesteryear,
By Notnadia (Currently upstairs.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OHIO'S LAKE ERIE VACATIONLAND In VP (Postcard History) (Paperback)
I loved looking over the photographs taken for these post cards. The settings, Ohio's northern shores from about a hundred years ago up to semi-modern times, shed light on how different life once was, and how much most things stay eternally the same. One thing I thought was particularly nice was that there is a lot of happiness captured in these shots. Families from other eras were photographed enjoying their time away from work and school and that spirit of joy is easily seen and felt in these snapshots of summertime landmarks and people who made use of them.
