The Picket", Hanover's Civil War equestrian statue, sits in the middle of the town square in this undated postcard. The statue, since relocated on one of the square's angles, was a favorite subject of penny postcards.

A reader noted that the Penny Postcards from Pennsylvania site lacks entries from York County.

How do we get more folks to submit their postcards to publicize York County's wonderful past? she wondered... .

She's right. Such sites are good ways to tell York County's story.

And here are a couple of other penny post card and other photograph sites featuring York County landmarks:

- Virtual York provides colorful portrait of York's past.
