Don’t you just love getting a postcard? You know them… that picture you’d get in your mailbox from back in the days when getting one put a smile on your face.
Welcome to my online postcard and photo collection, which catalogs the history and beauty of Lake Naomi and the Pocono Pines region of the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania. If you have a postcard you’d like to share, please feel free to do so. We’d love to share it with our audience. Any condition – just take a picture of it with your phone and send here. I love growing the collection.
This series I’ve been working on began as an effort to rebuild my youthful memories of growing up on Lake Naomi in the Poconos starting in the 1960s. As the stories came together, I wanted to start an oline dialog with others who might remember or are making their memories right now. We created an associated Facebook Group, called Lake Naomi Memories, for anyone to share their memories that help create a digital history footprint on the web. Oh, and they’ll certainly help me remember as well. Link below – enjoy the series!

Before we get started, here’s a fun 1913 transcribed card
Horace R. Longshore, Langhorne, Bucks Co., Pa. POCONO PINES, PA – AUG 18, 1913 5:30 PM
This is where we take our meals, at or on the top of the mountain. It seems quite a bit nearer the stars than at home, 2000 ft. high. The trip up here was delightful, and so everything has been since we came. I wish you could be here, and hope you may someday. Today, there will be a County Fair on the grounds. The rides are wonderful, and the air is so invigorating. With love, M. Cousin R.B.- Not very well, but better this morning. The nurse is here. Will write a real letter as soon as I am able.
