A Noteworthy Event Happening Next Week

Most of us are familiar with a few postcard images of Hudson, and some of us may even have our own collections of postcards from a hundred or more years ago, but the History Room at the Hudson Area Library probably has one of the largest collections. In September, the library will be putting some of its extensive collection on display in an exhibition called Wish You Were Here: A Look Back at Life in Hudson Through Vintage Postcards.

The exhibition, which is the library's first ever local history exhibition, was curated by David Murphy, a past president of the library board and a current member of the History Room committee. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, September 6, from 6 to 8 p.m., featuring a presentation by Gary Sheffer, a Hudson native who in March did a talk at the library about the General Worth Hotel. Wine and cheese will be served. The library will also have note cards and T-shirts for sale with an iconic Hudson postcard image.

The exhibition and opening reception are in the Community Room of the Hudson Area Library, located at 51 North Fifth Street.
