Decades of memories culled from attics, albums, and organizations alike are preserved in this charming collection of photographs chronicling the everyday lives of Tompkins County residents. This book showcases images of activity, such as farmers hard at work and people dancing into the early hours of the morning, as well as the more subdued images of universal human connection, such as moments of sorrow, contemplation and reflection. The stories of those from the past unfold as they bring to life a history long forgotten and a sense of continuity and familiarity uniting these disparate worlds.
