A friend of mine and longtime Alexandrian, Barb Grover, has written a second book. Her first book, Images of America : Alexandria was released in 2013 by Arcadia Publishing and helps readers discover how the unique spirit of Alexandria grew out of its early days as a pioneer outpost.
In her second book, also released by Arcadia Publishing and part of their Postcard Series, Barb highlights the beauty of Alexandria’s and Douglas County’s lakes as well as the history of this beautiful area through more than 200 vintages postcards. The images in ‘Postcard History Series: Alexandria’ tell Alexandria’s story, “recalling fond memories of the businesses, churches, homes, schools, and recreational opportunities that form the generous and caring nature of the welcoming community that is Alexandria”.
