I found this web site tonight, I can remember seeing photos like these on many walls in farmhouses around Fairfax. A person can go to the web site input the address of the property of interest they will search the archives to see if they have it. Over 6000 photos of properties in Franklin County VT alone. I am sure many of the farms depicted in these photos are long gone.

We Are
Vintage Aerial connects your personal memories and family history to photos of the places where the memories were made and the history took place. We are a small group of people who are passionate about history and technology, who created Vintage Aerial to share our passion for preserving the heritage of rural America.
Our collection of over 25 million photographs spans the second half of the 20th century, documenting a time in American history when life revolved around rural communities and small farms. Our common American heritage happened in that time, in those rural communities. We want to share the period preserved in these photos, and the memories they represent, with the generations who came too late to experience it firsthand.
Vintage Aerial uses the latest in digital imaging and data storage technology to preserve these irreplaceable visual heirlooms. We are saving yesterday’s memories with today’s technology, for the tomorrows to come.

Chris,
No problem, I am glad that you enjoyed it. I spent about 20 minutes checking it out last night and thought the same thing. At the time this company started taking pictures, I wonder if they realized the historical significance of their work? As I think of the Fairfax through my eyes as a child, it has changed so much, buildings are gone, the land has changed. The photos that this company has are pictures of our past.
