The Winchester Historical Society provided historical postcards with photos of Winchester Town Common from 1910, Town Hall, and other local points of interest, including a trolley that ran throughout the area, through Winchester. One went from Stoneham to Arlington, another from Woburn to Medford. The fare was one nickel.
Letters Trellis returns to Winchester Farmers Market with happy letter writers.
With vintage postcards courtesy of the Winchester Historical Society showing photos of the common from 1910, Letters Trellis welcomed letter writers during the market of July 16th.
13 of the cards were written and posted by Letters Trellis, and 11 were taken home to be completed - some writers did not have addresses handy. Of the 13 pieces of stationery used, 7 letters were stamped and mailed by Letters Trellis.
