Valentine’s Day

Collection

With over 1000 postcards in our archival collection, we couldn’t pick just one photo to share with you on Valentine’s Day! Whether you have someone to canoodle, you’re hanging with your gal pals, or paddling solo, we hope you are feeling the love today.

All images are from The Canadian Canoe Museum’s O’Connor Postcard Collection or Art Seidenberg Postcard Collection.

Enjoy!
