Three photos of the historical photo exhibit assembled by the Staff of the Regional History Department of the Community Library, Ketchum, Idaho. The exhibit reached about 800 students (allowing for those who never step foot in a library) for 2 two weeks 5 days a week. I include these photos to show that a traveling exhibit has to be flexible for the different venues in visits. Here in WRHS, it hung on the wall.
















And here, in the Hailey Public Library, it was front and back of a room partition, using t-pins to hold the photos in place. At the Wood River Middle School, the exhibit was on a cork board/white board and held on with push pins and tape. I like all of the poems and quotations we assembled.

The public showed a lot of interest in the reprints of the photos dating back to the 1880s. Some remember the old times, and some couldn't believe the Valley ever looked that way. The visitor numbers during the time the photos were on display at the Hailey Library were 4095.
