Get ready for a blast from the past — this vintage postcard is straight out of Revolutionary War history with a side of old-timey charm!
Picture the front: a sturdy wooden inn captured in all its 1913 glory, complete with crooked shutters and a big front door that probably saw plenty of hungry soldiers. This is the legendary Daniel Harmon Tavern (aka Old Harmon Inn) where General John Stark and his staff stopped for dinner on August 14, 1777.
Just two days later, Stark led his troops to victory in the famous Battle of Bennington — talk about a power lunch! The photo by Sibley and copyright by E.T. Griswold bring that authentic early 1900s feel.
Turn it over and the back tells the whole tale in crisp black text. It's one of a special series of 100 historical postcards published by Griswold, printed with quality by The Albertype Co. of Brooklyn, N.Y. Pure collector gold!
At over 110 years old, this card shows its battle scars with graceful yellowing, a few brown age spots on the reverse, and that perfect vintage patina. No rips or missing corners though — it's ready for your collection or to frame up nice.
History lovers, postcard enthusiasts, and anyone who geeks out over 1770s inns and Revolutionary tales will adore this piece. It connects you directly to the events that helped shape America, all on a handy card.
Whether you're building a Bennington battle set or just want something unique to display, this Griswold series gem delivers big on storytelling and nostalgia. Grab it before it marches off to another collection!
