I seek to digitally preserve historical photos for others that might be looking for them. When possible I reunite the original copies with descendants, free of charge. Here are more photos in my ever growing collection.

5/19/21 UPDATE - This item has been donated to the Canstatter Volksfest Verein archives.

The beautiful cover of this little booklet caught my eye at an antique store the other day. I didn't realize until I brought it home though, that it could fold out accordion style! On one side are business advertisements. On the other is a long, beautifully illustrated panorama. 

The Canstatter Volksfest was a German-American club founded in 1873 for the purpose of celebrating traditions from their homeland. This festival is still held today!
