The Towns Slides (101-149)
Taken by John Towns
Donated by Dorothy "Dot" Towns
Background
This collection of 149 color slides was taken by John Towns in the 1940s. Dot Towns donated them to the Great Cranberry Island Library.When they were shown at the Ladies Aid about twenty years ago, they made a big hit, with lots of remembrances from the audience, but they haven't seen the light of day since then.
Now with the help of a newly-acquired slide scanner, the Great Cranberry Island Historical Society is proud to make these high-quality photos available again.
