Pierceton celebrates its 150 anniversary in 2016 and the Pierceton and Washington Township
Public Library is gathering photographs of the area. Included are Washington, Monroe, and
Jackson Townships and the towns of Pierceton, Sidney, Packerton, Wooster, and Kinzey.
This is a great way to share your family photographs with others as they will be cataloged
and placed on "Indiana Memory" (
http://www.in.gov/memories/). We are interested
in these images: houses, farms, businesses, street scenes, churches, schools, class
photos, events, parks, landmarks, people at work, factories, bridges, farming, and any
other photograph that sheds light on the history of our community.
We can scan the photos while you wait at the Pierceton Library. Contact
heritagephoto(a)indy.rr.com or reply here to make an appointment. This project is funded in
part by a grant from the Kosciusko County Community Foundation, plus the donations of
generous individuals.
For a sampling of photographs gathered so far, visit:

Join our "Memories of Pierceton" Facebook page here for even more photos and to
help us date and identify images:

Please spread the word! We eventually will create a book from the most interesting
images.
Thanks!
