Description

Once known to native inhabitants as Manamooskeagin, or “the land of many beavers,” Abington was crucial manufacturing and financial center in Plymouth County by the early twentieth century. Postcard photographers and publishers caught each and every stage of the community’s growth and broadcast it to the world through images of workmen at shoe factories, parades celebrating the town’s 1912 bicentennial, and the dedication of the Island Grove Soldiers and Sailors Monument, a nineteenth-century gathering web site for abolitionists that may be these days one in all The united states’s newest districts within the National Register of Historic Places. Abington captures the nostalgia of this town right through the postcard era.
