The efforts to create this amazing photographic<br>history began when members of the Farmington<br>Historical Society agreed upon a unique way to<br>commemorate the 1998 bicentennial of the town s<br>incorporation. By compiling this unparalleled collection<br>of over 200 images many never before published they<br>have achieved their goal of preserving the powerful past<br>of this New Hampshire community.<br>Beginning in the late 1700s as an agricultural village, <br>young Farmington encompassed a dozen small businesses<br>and had fifteen dwellings at its center. In subsequent<br>years it became a pioneer town in the development of<br>the shoe industry, with upwards of seventeen factories<br>employing over 2,000 people during peak years."
