We've all seen this image before. It's a parade down Main Street in celebration of the centennial Independence Day.
I scanned a reproduction of the photo. They had the original at the museum as well, but it was so faded and battered, I thought this might work better. Maybe next year I'll try scanning the original.
All I recognize for sure in this photo are the Hobart House and the old mill, off in the distance. I say the "old mill," but in 1876 it was only about 30 years old.

Hey! I don't think I've seen this picture before. . .it has to be one of the oldest photos of the town, doesn't it?
I don't recall ever seeing any older photo of town. It's a wonderful image. (OK, maybe not as famous as I thought.)
