Book review: New book chronicles the penny postcards of Hutchinson

Just in time for the fair, the McLeod County Museum has released a new book titled, “Hutchinson, Minnesota: History in the Mail,” by Julie M. Jensen.

Between the covers of this postcard-size book, Jensen has featured more than 100 postcards from the collection of the McLeod County Museum.

The postcards, once sold for a penny apiece, chronicle Hutchinson businesses, celebrations, churches, Crow River, landmarks lost, Library Square, people, schools and street scenes.
