Eminently collectible and highly visual, postcards are often acquired as a souvenir of an exciting vacation, even today. Before the era of modern communication devices, postcards were an easy way to send a quick note to a friend or loved one without having to compose a full letter.

Featuring the vast historic postcard collection of local collector Paul Antico and modern-day photographs, Then and Now explores how Cohasset’s beautiful vistas and buildings have changed over time while examining the act of sending postcards, a nearly lost method of communication. Then (the postcards) and Now (the photographs), in their matchup of sites and locations, reveal how much Cohasset has changed and yet remains the same.

Exhibit hours: Monday - Friday, 9:30 AM - 1:00 PM
