History

Holbrook Historical Nuggets

Elsa Martz is a docent of sorts for the history of Cundy’s Harbor, and specifically the Holbrook property. As a board member of Holbrook Community Foundation, she has collected photos—many taken by her, but others collected from archives which include the attics of the “old timers” she has been interviewing for years. Click the links below to read excerpts from those interviews as well as items of public record. Photos gleaned from those attics are to be found throughout this web site.
