Thanks to the efforts of the Moore County Historical Association, thousands of these postcards have been digitally preserved for future generations.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1887 by industrialist John T. Patrick, Southern Pines was first a seasonal health resort and winter escape for Northerners. But at the turn of the 20th century, thousands of people flocked to the Sandhills for golf, riding, and other outdoor activities. Hotels and boardinghouses were built to accommodate the influx of visitors. This collection of historic postcards chronicles the bygone era of grand hotels, steam railroads, Model T Fords, and virgin pine forests. Included are vintage postcards of the town's Blue and Gray Picnic, one-room jailhouse, downtown theaters, and early health sanitarium. The postcards capture the evolution of Broad and Bennett Streets and chronicle the people and places that make Southern Pines special.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Hans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 154029949X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540299499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.25w x 0.31d","brand":"Julia Hans","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48460301730047,"sku":"9781540299499","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d10ef37c-b6dd-4f94-8755-6b21d1ef37fe.jpg?v=1777413852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/southern-pines-julia-hans-9781540299499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
