HAND COLORED: Pinehurst, NORTH CAROLINA - Woman\'s Exchange - 1941: Affluent visitors to the Village of Pinehurst had seen the skills of country women at the 1922 Sandhills Fair: baked and canned goods, quilts and rugs, baby clothes. Another Boston native, Katherine Tuckerman, was familiar with the Federation of Woman’s Exchanges, a national organization whose motto was, and is, “Helping others to help themselves.” Quite radical considering its founding date of 1832, these “exchanges” provided women with a location to sell their homemade goods. In May 1923, Tuckerman, Molly Lovering, Darthea Crocker Cowgill, and seven other women met to formally organize, recruit funds, and search for a location to establish the Sandhills Woman’s Exchange. That location is as much a part of Pinehurst’s history as the Exchange itself. In the early 1800s, a one-room cabin was built adjacent to a gristmill northeast of town. After the Civil War, it was moved to the Archibald McKenzie family home to serve as a kitchen. Pinehurst founder Tufts was so taken with the cabin that the McKenzies gave it to him, and he relocated it to the village in 1896 to serve as a museum for early Sandhills artifacts. The Tufts family donated the cabin to the Exchange in 1924. Two hundred years later, that chinked and hand-hewn cabin, Pinehurst’s oldest structure, still stands and serves as the Sandhills Woman’s Exchange, celebrating its own centennial this year. This Linen Era postcard, mailed in 1941, is in good condition. Albertype Co. Brooklyn, N.Y.
