Take a moment to look back at some of the events and sights from around Westford 100 years ago.
In the early decades of the 20th century Charles L. Hildreth photographed the people and places of Westford and beyond, primarily on 4×5″ glass plates. Over 900 of these glass plates have been recently digitally restored, by Dan Lacroix, an amateur photographer. Dan created an specialized lightbox to photograph the glass negatives, allowing us to fully observe and appreciate the remarkable detail that large format photography is able to capture today.
Dan Lacroix and Marilyn Day will highlight the finer, generally unseen details within a selection of Westford images, shedding light on life in our town over a century ago.
