Synopsis
Yorktown explores the rich history of one of the northernmost towns in Westchester County. With vivid images, the book follows Yorktown from its early establishment as part of the Van Cortlandt Manor, through its key role in the American Revolution, to its development as a thriving residential and business community. Nestled in the Hudson Valley, Yorktown retains its pristine natural surroundings, including Teatown Lake Reservation. It has been a farm community, a hamlet with nurseries and orchards, and a summer colony with a local theater district and artists' colony. It once served as a breadbasket and milk bar for New York City and played a part in providing the city with clean water.

About the Author
Yorktown draws primarily from the collection of the Yorktown Museum, as well as two major collectors within the Taconic Postcard Club. Town supervisor Linda G. Cooper coauthored Yorktown in the Images of America series. For this volume, she partnered with Yorktown Museum assistant curator Adele Hobby, Yorktown director of planning John Tegeder, and Susan Hack-Lane, the president of both the Friends of the Yorktown Museum and the Taconic Postcard Club, to gather and write material for this book. It is their hope that this volume of postcard images will encourage an interest in Yorktown's heritage and place in history.
