Bits and Pieces: Unpuzzling Our Past

This exhibit brings together a variety of our holdings which uncover famous personalities, extraordinary events, and notable places from our community’s unique history within six categories.

Some of our featured items include: major league baseball player Scotty Ingerton, the Peninsula Gold Hunt of 1945, PVC inventor Waldo Semon, the headless Civil War Monument, the Flood of 1913, local artists Walt Scott, William Sommer, and Honoré Guilbeau Cooke and the Barnum and Bailey Circus parading through the streets of Peninsula. Please feel free to stop by and view our exhibit!

Other Exhibits & Projects

Boston Township Then and Now: A Bicentennial Portrait

Similar in design to the exhibit on Peninsula’s sesquicentennial, this exhibit features iconic photographs from Boston Township’s two-hundred year history. Selected historic images were chosen as the basis for the “then” part of this exhibit. Modern views of these same scenes are placed side-by-side so that viewers can make observations and comparisons. The “now” photographs are primarily the work of our multi-talented Page, Nicole Anderson. Captions below the images guide the viewer by putting the images in their proper context. The Community Scrapbook wall will continue as we encourage donations and additions to this part of the exhibit. Boston Township Then and Now: A Bicentennial Portrait will debut on Memorial Day, May 30, 2011.
