With over 7,000 images in the Local History Digital Collections it can be hard to find those hidden gems. Take a look at what your neighbors found interesting in March, 2020.
The Walker Local and Family History Center maintains a healthy collection of historic photographs, postcards and other local memorabilia. A selection of these are online in the Local History Digital Collections, with new additions each week. But take it from me, a person can get lost looking in there for those special hidden gems. Nevertheless, our users dove in and found some good ones! Each month I’ll share the most popular images from the previous month. Below are the top 10 images from March, 2020. Enjoy!
