Photos are an excellent way to learn more about history. Did you know that the Mason County Historical Society is home to over 10,000 historic photos that tell stories of Mason County history as far back as 1880?
Help us recreate a 'today' version of historic photographs of Mason County!
Here's how:
- Take a look below at the historic photos from around Mason County (Click on a photo to open the gallery and read the descriptions!). Choose a photo that you want to recreate.
- Go take a modern version of that photo! How closely can you replicate the historic photo?
- Compare and contrast your then and now photos:
- What is different about your then and now photos?
- What has stayed the same between then and now?
- Be a historian! If someone from the future asked you what was happening at the time in history when you took YOUR photo, what would you tell them?
- Submit your 'now' photo - along with your description - back to this Mason County Historical Society 'Then & Now' Photo Project webpage (click the button just below).
