1910 Whalom Breeze : Week of July 4-9 - Cover

Here we are very pleased to present a rare issue of Whalom Breeze recently acquired on loan from Mr. Charlie Kimball, a former Whalom Park employee in the 1940's.

Charlie is such an enthusiast that he returned to work at the park after retirement! Each available page of this issue was scanned, catalogued, tagged with keywords, and a short description added. Then the photos were uploaded for permanent archiving and made available to worldwide search engines at the WhalomMemories archive on Flickr.

It is our hope that by freely sharing these materials, they will be of benefit to historians, geneologists, and researchers; thus helping to preserve the tremendously
rich cultural heritage created by Whalom Park 1893-2000. Please enjoy your visit into the past!
