We have added a fun collection of 30 family photos and postcards to the Image Archives thanks to Maryanna Twomey, especially for the shots of Memorial Day parades around Hopewell Borough, circa 1950.
Also check out photos of a Bond Bread truck on Model Avenue, and other scenes near the railroad bridge.
Enjoy!
