Way Back When

This picture book is a collection of enlarged historic photographs of all 8 of our West Licking County villages - Columbia Center, Etna, Jersey, Kirkersville, Outville, Pataskala, Summit Station and Wagram.  Held in a 3-ring binder with a photographic cover, each photograph is enlarged to 8 x 11.5 and enhanced.  Suitable for framing, each of the photographs is in a protective covering and is easily removed from the collection.  The photographs, most of which were taken in the early 1900s, reveal a busy, yet simpler life, while giving us a glimpse of the progressive villages that would grow into the wonderful communities we know today.  Frame and hang your choice photographs and still have the perfect coffee table book to entertain your guests.
