Through nearly 200 postcard images, Summit celebrates a city known for its gracious, tree-lined streets, the reputation of its public and private schools, the activism of countless city volunteers, and its thriving opportunities for culture and adult education. In the early days of the communityas development, many residents were seasonal (this attribute of the population changed as it became easier to live in the country and work in the city).
