OTM Seeks Photos for “Past & Present: Winslow”

The Old Trails Museum is seeking your photos for a new book! Past & Present: Winslow, an Arcadia Publishing title, will feature historic photos (1960s or earlier) of Winslow buildings alongside current, in-color images of the same properties.

OTM is looking for photos of specific buildings because we don’t have good ones – or ones at all – of many we would love to include in the book. You would only have to lend us your photo to scan and your permission to use it, rather than donating it to the museum.   

Below is the list of properties for which we’re seeking photos, along with guidelines on the types of photos we can (and can’t) use. Thank you in advance for helping to spread Winslow’s great history!
