Old Berrien Newsletter, Volume 7, Number 3 (Fall 2025): “History in Postcards”, Fall 2025
Scope and Contents
This Fall 2025 issue of the Old Berrien Newsletter focuses on the history of early Berrien County through the lens of postcards dating from the late nineteenth century through the post–World War II era. Articles discuss the earliest known street scenes of Nashville, the development of downtown architecture, the impact of the naval stores industry, and the rise of postcard culture following the 1898 postal regulation changes. Topics covered include the 1909 view of Davis Street, the 1910 Nashville Public School addition, the first aerial views of the county seat, excursion sites such as Mayhaw Lake and Lucy Lake, the “Spirit of the American Doughboy” monument, and the Mediterranean-style structures of the 1920s including Hotel Nashville and the Nashville High School. The issue also highlights the Berrien Historical Foundation’s collaboration with the Valdosta State University Archives & Special Collections, and features a profile of a VSU intern assisting with museum cataloging.
