Where can I find pictures of what my home town looked like 50 years ago?

Question

Any one know where I can look up any town or city and see how it has evolved into what it is today and find out some good stuff about its history.

Answer 1

Two places.  I would go to the newspaper office first.  They have papers dating back forever and will help you find what you are looking for.

If not there, then your local public library.  They also keep records of different publications and history of your town.

Answer 2

try your local library.  Most towns keep old yearbooks and maps, etc, that will give you an idea of what the town was like.

Answer 3

Use the internet and google it...or msn search, yahoo search, etc....you can find so much this way. I have been able to find things like that too.

What town are you looking for?
