This exhibition explores the lives of Irish-American families in Norfolk and their work on farms, in factories, in commerce, and in the building and service industries.
This summer the Norfolk Historical Museum brings many of these unseen images of Norfolk and surrounding towns back to life in an exhibition of the postcards of Frank DeMars (1872-1942).
The exhibition chronicles the life of the church, first as it intersected with the civic life of the town, and later as its disestablishment was reflected in the organization of an Ecclesiastical Society.
The Childs-Walcott Game Preserve (later renamed Great Mountain Forest) quickly became a Progressive Era experiment in the restoration and conservation of natural resources.
