An incredible local site dedicated to showcasing vintage postcards of Cincinnati and the surrounding communities. Created by Don Prout

This site is dedicated to showcasing vintage postcards of Cincinnati and the surrounding communities. My areas of interest consist of all communities inside the I-275 circle freeway, plus many communities that are located just on the outside of this corridor. In addition to Kentucky I-275 also goes thru Indiana so you will also see some cards from Lawrenceburg, Indiana. You will not see many cards of Northern Kentucky here because they are already available on, what I consider, one of the best postcard sites on the web. You will find a link at the bottom of this page. As most of these cards are from my own collection I am continually adding new ones so, if it has been awhile since you looked at a section, you may want to check them out again. The ages of these cards range from 1898 up to the present time. Some of these pages may take some time to load, I tried not to put too many images on one page but I am not always as successful as I would like. Everything is pretty basic, you click on the image to bring up a larger view and use your back arrow to return.
The postcard view is now highly sought after by many institutions and individuals, as it serves as a historical record of the past. Be it the view of a town main street, the local church, school, roadside attraction or the countryside, the postcard mirrors the way our parents, grand-parents and even ourselves, once lived. Captured in these small hand held images are views of people in the dress of the day, often at work, at play, at school or at church, offering us a nostalgic look back in time.
