The post office corner in 1915: a dirt street, plank sidewalks and a horse and wagon outside the post office.
The same corner today: the post office and the brick shops of Main Street, with the lake at the end of the street.

Tap a face.

Every face in this photo belonged to somebody's family. Some are still waiting for a name. If you know one, tell us how you know, and our staff will check it before it goes on the record.

Names get checked at our Naming Nights. Bring a box of photos and a cup of coffee.

Is your family in here?

Type a surname or a street. We'll show you the photos, clippings and records we've catalogued that mention it.
