“Faces Of Bethany,” an
exhibition of 107 year-old photos restored from glass plate
negatives opens with a reception at Bethany Town Hall on
Monday, May 21, at 7 PM. Photographed by early Bethany
resident George L. Wooding, this work dates from the turn of
the Nineteenth Century. It’s a preview of Bethany’s 175th
anniversary celebration slated for Memorial Day Weekend.
We are proud to offer prints of 14
photographs from the Bethany Historical Society's G.L.
Wooding Collection. Each print is 11 x 14", and is suitable
for framing. Prints will sell for $15.00 each. For ordering information, please contact: Dave Forman, Co-Chairman  , 203-393-2100 x110

There was a good turnout for the
photo exhibit, which coincided with a Town Meeting held downstairs in the
auditorium. The event was set up by Bill Guth and Ann Klatskin, who
replaced the existing photographs in the upstairs hallway of the Town Hall with
the exhibition photos, and set out a spread of wine, cheese and crackers for
visitors. Carol Cangiano joined the duo to help with the finishing touches and
greeting visitors, while Carol Goldberg, June Riley and Nancy McCarthy
sold souvenirs downstairs.
