Description

On Sunday, October 20, 2024, historian Linda Hixon will show some of Hopedale’s many surviving glass negatives, along with a “magic lantern slide” show of local images. 
 
Who were these photographers and how did Hopedale end up with a collection of almost 4,000 glass images? Learn about the processes needed to scan, restore, and save these precious and fragile moments in Hopedale history. This free event will be held at Hopedale Unitarian Church starting at 2:30 p.m.
