Troup County in Vintage Postcards traces a major period of growth and development for this Georgia community; from the late 19th through the mid-20th century. Snapshot glimpses of history preserved on postcards reveal the second courthouse; which burned in 1936; the textile mills that opened at a rapid pace as the county entered the era of the "New South;" the early days of LaGrange Female College; which became co-ed in 1954; Southern Female College; which closed in 1919; Ferrell Gardens; which began in 1832 and is now a landmark in the county; as well as scenes of schools; churches; homes; farms; and businesses.

Great reading and wonderful old pictures for anyone who grew up in Yardley or anyone who grew up in a very small town. Brings back so many memories of so many people in a small town setting.
