Old antique postcards tell the stories of such Northern Ontario towns and places as Alderdale, Bonfield and Rutherglen, Callander and Corbeil, Commanda, Dokis, the Ferguson Highway (Highway 11), Lavigne and Verner, Marten River, Mattawa, Monetville and Noëlville, Nipissing and Restoule, North Bay, Powassan and Trout Creek, South River, Sturgeon Falls, Sundridge, Temagami, Tilden Lake, Trout Lake and Trout Mills. Below are Canadian resources which we have found interesting, some of which can also be used to research postcard history. See our other reference page for more information on postcard collecting, and our Northern Ontario Postcard Photographers’ checklist.
You might also enjoy reading the story of Antoine’s Moose-Yard, about a hunting trip taken more than 100 years ago. Be sure to visit our entertaining post card blog.
This is an ongoing project regarding the history of the Nipissing District and the Lake Nipissing area as seen in vintage postcards, and comments and questions to the webmaster about our digital virtual museum are welcome.
