Christmas Past...

I will be posting until Christmas, images of Christmas Past...enjoy...

Happy Thanksgiving...

I guess no one is interested in this blog...

I haven't gotten a single email on this and I thought this would be a fun idea. Well, I'm out of stuff to post, so this is it until something new pops up.

Looking for old Christmas photos...

This was taken on December 24th, 1962. Can you guess who it is?

I would like to post area vintage Christmas photos of families from the Oakland area. Just email them to me at tetedennis@yahoo.com and let me know who is in them and the year.

I have been sick and busy:

I could use some help until I can get some more items scanned and into the computer.

Does anyone have any old photos they would like to share?

OCTOBER 27TH

On Tuesday, October 27th at 7:00 PM Landmarks, Inc. is offering a free program on care and restoration of old barns or other timber frame structures. The speaker for this presentation will be Tim Narkiewicz from Trillium Dell Timberworks. Trillium Dell Timberworks is based in rural Knox County Illinois. They specialize in timber frame construction techniques both with new buildings and the repair of old buildings of various timber frame styles. They have repaired, rebuilt or restored many old structures throughout the US. Tim is in the area making an assessment of repairs needed on the 1869 Fairfield Church located north of Newman and an 1860s hand hewn timber frame barn near Newman. He will give a talk on the work of the company and have a slide presentation of some of their past accomplishments. More information about Trillium Dell Timberworks can be viewed at www.trilliumdell.com. The program will be in the Landmarks' Meeting House on South Pike Street, across from the Rutherford House in Oakland. If you have questions about a structure bring photos for Tim. He will also be available to visit other area structures on Wednesday if there is interest.
