HISTORY THROUGH ART & ARCHITECTURE
SMALL TOWNS, BIG STORIES
Preservation Postcards was started from a passion of old architecture and small-town-USA. Architecture holds some of our most precious stories in history. We want to celebrate this!
​
These cards are not sold on our site.
These are made specifically for individual boutique owners or history center operators.
​
Our first concept location is in Dandridge – the second oldest town in Tennessee. We feature 20 landmarks on our largest display to date.
​
Now we are located in Jefferson City's Heritage Center and Knoxville's History Museum.
East Tennessee History Museum Gift Shop.
This sample shows both the original and the postcard of Glenmore Mansion. Display is featured in the Historic Old City Hall.
This is the original display of 6. It turned into a set of 20 now featured at Martha's Market.
