There are a huge number of postcards out there depicting historic Port Huron. We will post images of these that we obtain legitimately. That is, while a great many can be viewed on Ebay and other sellers’ sites and should be copyright-free, we will not copy them to post them here. If you want to share a copy of a postcard that you own, please do! We will provide the source of all images. Please email us with the image at porthuronhistory@gmail.com. Thank you.
