Exhibit: “Hunt’s Mills: A 100 Year Retrospective Through the Lens of a Camera”

From the 1880s through 1930, Hunt’s Mills was said to be the most painted and photo-graphed site in the entire area and some of those professional photographs/ postcards are in the Hunt House collection. This spring the museum highlights these photos/ postcards and features them along side the work of six local amateur photographers who capture Hunt’s wildlife and beauty today. Just entered into the exhibit are recent drone photos taken of the falls and fish ladder area.
