Event Details

Attendees at the annual Pierceton Festival can explore a display of Pierceton’s historic downtown buildings and businesses, help identify faces in unlabeled school photos, and watch a slide show titled “Picturing Pierceton.” Residents are asked to bring Whitko-area photographs of businesses, clubs, churches, schools, homes, farms, interesting people, and snapshots of everyday life from past to present. A scanning tech will copy items onsite while lenders wait or visit the festival. All originals will be returned to their owners.

For more information, contact Heritage Photo Services at heritagephotoservices@gmail.com.

This program received support from a Historic Preservation Education Grant awarded by Indiana Humanities and Indiana Landmarks.
