A Historical Mystery
The following series of three photos are from a photo album of A. R. Howard and we believe they could picture a celebration of the founding of Greenwich. The question is when was the picture taken, where it was taken and what was the occasion?
Our logic is:
When? The clues: The dress of the people, the cars, trucks and the signs in the photo. Winter? Summer?
Where: Greenwich, north side of what is now US224. Where the Village sign is now located.
What: Hints? The flag in photo 3 has 38 stars. Colorado was the 38th state added in 1876. Flags after 1912 and before 1953 had 48 stars.
When? A Year
Where? Definitely Greenwich
What was the occasion?
