Galesburg, Illinois, is a town proud of its history and heritage. From its founding by courageous and determined pioneers in 1837 to the present day, it has been referred to in many ways--including The Ideal City and The Buckle on the Corn Belt. Galesberg, Illinois in Vintage Postcards uses postcards as the lens to focus on the fascinating history of this Midwestern town. Throughout its history, the postcard has always been a popular means of communication. Looking back at them now, we are offered a unique insight into the places and times illustrated on the cards, and an intimate look at the people sending these cards to loved ones in faraway locations.
