NYE Beach???? On a sunny day like this it seems possible. The image seems more reminiscent of Miami Beach but the back of the postcard, postmarked in 1954 reads: "NEWPORT, OREGON Youth vacations at Nye Beach - one of the most popular beaches in the Pacific Northwest. Here you may be happily active, or relax and rest Kodachrome by Hannan" Try to make to to the beach if can, this is November after all things could change weather-wise at any time! Image from the vast archives of the Lincoln County Historical Society.

As a winter project our curator and a few volunteers are beginning to accession the Ernest Bloch Collection that we have been accumulating from Frank Geltner and the Ernest Bloch Legacy Project. There are a surprising amount of photos from the time Ernest and his wife Marguerite lived in Agate Beach. These photos are courtesy of Old Stage Studios in Gualala, CA and where given by Lucienne, Ernest's daughter. Both Lucienne and Ernest were avid and celebrated photographers as well as both being extremely talented musically. As we continue to go through this collection we will share more about the fascinating life of Bloch and the legacy he left in Lincoln County. 🎼
