These rare postcards of the Southampton Train Station capture its evolution through the decades.

As we celebrate the station’s 154th anniversary, we’re reminded how this vital mode of transportation has connected our village to the wider world since its grand opening in February 1871.

Share your vintage Southampton postcards in the comments and tag us with #WithLoveSHM.

This tiny building, constructed ca. 1686, is one the oldest continuously operated places of business in the United States. Most famously, it was once the workshop of American patriot and silversmith, Elias Pelletreau (1726-1810).
