GROTON — The Groton Historical Society and the Groton Public Library will offer up a slide presentation what Groton looked like 100 years ago.
The event will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 8 at 2 p.m. in Sibley Hall at the Groton Public Library.
The slide presentation will feature over 40 images taken from a series of glass plate negatives in the Historical Society’s collection. The glass plates were made by Rev. C.W. Turner in 1907 and focus mainly on images of houses and public buildings in Groton. Groton Public Library staff has made this program possible by scanning the glass plates to make the images more accessible. The photographs give an intriguing glimpse into the Groton of exactly 100 years ago.
The presentation is free and open to the public. Snow date will be Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 2 p.m. in Sibley Hall. The Groton Public Library is located at 99 Main Street, Groton. Call the Groton Public Library at (978) 448-1167 for more information.
