The Way We Worked

WCHS - In preparation for the 2012 fall visit of the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit, "The Way We Worked", the Wright County Historical Society is searching for historic photos of Wright County residents at work.  If you have any people-oriented, historic photos of farmers, butchers, housewives, bankers, servicemen and servicewomen, for example, please contact Sally Stevens at 763-682-7323 or email jpg images to wrighthistory@me.com. 
 
Photos must be good quality and from Wright County.  All photos will be scanned and returned in their original condition.  Thank you!
