Unity, Then and Now

COURTESY
UNITY — The Unity Historical Society has in its collection many fine pictures of Unity’s past. There are photos of homes, people at work, families, businesses, schools and scenics. They would like the people of Unity and others to see these special pictures. A variety will be framed and on display in the Unity Town Hall on Old Home Day July 21.

In considering this collection decided that they needed similar pictures of the contemporary landscape and photos from the past 30-40 years. They invite people to bring in or drop off at the town library pictures of people at work or play, families, vehicles, pets, and scenics. Please label all pictures with the names of any people, location, and a date, if possible. All these prints will become the property of UHS so that UHS can continue to hold Unity’s past so dear to us.

They are also looking for any photos of homes or buildings that are now gone so that they may keep a record of them. Originals can be scanned and returned to the owners.

Along with this display UHS books and other items will be for sale. There will also be a baked goods sale (donations are welcome) to raise dollars for the New Veterans Memorial to be placed on the Common.

Please look around, capture those pictures, search the attic for old prints, and come out to see “Unity, Then and Now”.
