The MMHS is working to preserve Monkton's past. Won't you help us by sharing photographs of people, places or events of Monkton? As historians, we try to make Monkton's history come alive. We are thrilled whenever we discover images of the people or places we are studying. We've seen how popular these photos can be when we post them on this website or on our Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555639079312) or when people tell us about their reactions to our publications (https://www.monktonhistory.org/publications/).

Recently, Lauren spent an afternoon looking at family photos with a man whose family used to live in Monkton. Inadvertently those snapshots documented the buildings, clothes, hairstyles, eyeglasses, and people who visited a Monkton farm decades ago. They'll be scanned into our MMHS catalog for future historians to savor.

It will be current residents who inform Monkton historians of the future. Please bring up to six photos to our Scanning Day on May 5, 2024 between 10 - 1 at the new Monkton Town Hall, for us to scan and immediately return to you. We'll ask you to fill out a form describing the photo and a permission form that allows us to use your photo in future work. Please sign up on this form: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1boKUoaeGlb81XgI0NvjWU5LdQkpk9xVhTUdkf3Hreb8/edit?usp=sharing or email laurenparren@gmail.com.

Let your family's memories become part of Monkton's story!
