Antique Photographs. The Chamber of Commerce would like to collect old photographs of Old Fort to place in the museum. The 1890 vintage depot has been renovated, the current museum will be expanded and many more photos will be added. We ask your help in finding photographs which could be proudly displayed in this museum. Below is a sampling of some of the photographs as we find them. All photographs are thumbnails, just click on them to view a full size picture.
