Images of Richmond in Early 20th Century

Past event
Dec 7, 2017, 12 AM

December 7, Richmond Free Library Community Room, 1:30 PM: Karen Yaggy, Richmond Historical Society Archivist, will repeat an earlier "sell out" program and will again share early 20th Century photos reflecting life in Richmond during this period.

In June 2016, the Richmond Historical Society acquired more than 400 photographic glass plate negatives from the estate sale of the late Thomas Levesque, Richmond's former Fire Chief. The photos were taken in the 1910s and 1920s by Levesque's great-uncle Joseph Levesque or Bishop. Ranging from studio portraits to community events, the images offer intriguing glimpses of everyday life in early 20th century Richmond.
