Maplewood depicts the most memorable places in this northeastern Jersey town. Included are nearly two hundred scenes from 1900 to 1920, when Maplewood was a summer destination for city dwellers. Although it no longer attracts tourists, this suburban town is rich in history and natural surroundings.
A collector of vintage postcards, author John F. Harvey has given historical presentations throughout the local region and in New York State. He is a contributor to the Durand-Hedden House and the Montrose Park Historic District Association. For Maplewood, he has chosen views that mirror the golden age of postcards.
