Suzy,  I think Google Earth has a satelite that looks back in time.

No, just kidding. :D

Today's picture is from the museum. I was looking at it a couple years ago and realized what it was. I still look around the museum and find something that has importance to us, an old picture, or a newspaper article.
All the other ones are from Mom's photo album.
Glad you are enjoying them!

Mike, I don't remember seeing these photos either.  This looks like a photo maybe I can ask Trevor to scan for us at a high resolution and maybe include it in the new Fairfax History Book.  Actually all of the old photos you have put up recently are great and definitely keepsakes.

I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and take pictures of the flood. And of the night the school burned. And to see the old New Hampton Institute...............
