John DePalma Collection

John DePalma was one of the founding members of the our Museum. When he passed, we acquired a significant portion of his collection, notably more than 8000 postcards featuring Hudson County locales. These postcards were the basis for our exhibit "Greetings from Hudson County" that opened in 2019.
