Historian Asks for Personal Historic Photos

On Saturday, October 27, from noon to 3:00 p.m., Macedon Historian June Hamell, will be available to scan your personal historic photos of Macedon.  The emphasis for this project is to document information about the photographs, gather family stories and increase awareness about the photography collection in the Town Historian's office.  

Photographs will be scanned into the historian's photo archive and you will be able to take your photo(s) home with you.  There will be a form to be filled out which will give the background information of the photo, and a representative of the Macedon Memory Keepers will be on hand to record any stories shared.

So, please come and keep our Macedon history alive!!

Made possible by the Friends Endowment of the Macedon Public Library funding of the

 "Macedon Memories: They Walked Before Us" grant.
