Description
To celebrate Winooski's Centennial, Dan Higgins (well-known photographer and long-time Winooski resident) has graciously created a special book featuring a curated selection of photographs from Winooski’s 100-year history. Dan shares his collection of photographs at the Centennial Celebration in Rotary Park.
“The images in this book cover the years 1922-2022. Show the book around. Ask someone you don’t know if they can tell you something about one of the photographs. Anyone you encounter in Winooski should be able to recognize at least one image they can tell you something about. What makes a community is not just its collection of stories, but how much sharing there is among residents of those stories. Exchanging stories is one of the best ways of getting to know a place.” - Dan Higgins
