The Upper Perkiomen Valley covers a large portion of the northern corner of Montgomery County and smaller portions of Berks; Lehigh; and Bucks Counties. Beginning in the late 1600s; European settlers began to populate the area. By the late 1800s; rural trades along with agricultural and milling activities were surpassed by new industries that included ice harvesting; cigar making; stone quarrying; and textile manufacturing. Through postcards and photographs; The Upper Perkiomen Valley illustrates the culture as it existed in this area a century ago. Previously unseen images create an understanding of the past; a connection with the community; and pride in this beautiful region.
