1910 Zion Reformed Church New Berlin Ohio (Canton)

Postmarked just five days before the event, this rare 1910 postcard captures a special moment in New Berlin, Ohio—now known as North Canton. The image shows the newly completed Zion Reformed Church, proudly dedicated on Sunday, May 15, 1910. On the back, the sender invites his sister to attend the upcoming dedication, adding a personal touch that brings this piece of history to life. At that time, New Berlin was still a close-knit German-American community, and the church’s dedication would have been a major event, marking both spiritual devotion and civic pride. Addressed to Mrs. Elton Smith in East Akron, this postcard offers not just a view, but a voice from over a century ago.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
