Enjoying the Water at Holloway Beach in Charlestown

While a family enjoys the cooling waters of Holloway Beach in the midst of the Great Depression, they take time to mail a postcard home to Lancaster, PA.  It was 1938, an era before air conditioning so the beaches of Cecil County were popular for folks from nearby cities trying to escape the oppressive heat and humidity of urban areas.
