Historical Society
seeks Fayette church photographs Does your
church have a photo of its congregation or
building in the 1880s or early 1900s?
Maybe
your family has a photo of a baptismal service, a
dinner on the grounds or a camp meeting.
The
Fayette County Historical Society is searching
for vintage photos of churches and places of
worship in Fayette county from that period. The
society wants to include copies of the oldest
photos in its 2001 calendar, 19th and Early
20th Century Places of Worship in Fayette
County.
The
calendar is the third in an annual series of
calendars of historic Fayette photos. The first
featured early schools, and the second featured
industries.
If
your church or family has a photo that is more
than 50 years old that shows a church building or
worship service in the county, the Historical
Society would like to scan the photo for its
archives and for consideration for the calendar.
Scanning takes only a few minutes and does not
harm the photo.
The
society's research library/museum at 195 Lee St.,
Fayetteville, will be open and someone available
to scan Friday, July 7, and Saturday, July 22, 9
a.m. to 1 p.m.
For
information phone 770-716-6020.
