We'd love to get your old photos
Do you have historic old photos of people or places around Southwest Harbor? We'd love to have them - just to scan. We'll bring a portable computer and scanner to you home, and capture the image while you wait. The photos never have to leave your kitchen table.

Sample historic photos
Main Street, Southwest Harbor, looking toward what is now the Village Green Veteran's Park and First National Bank, in the aftermath of the March 1922 fire that destroyed the Holmes Hotel, Holmes Store, a private residence, and the original 1897 Odd Fellows building that stood on the site of the current Dry Dock Inn and Café.
Newman Store - Ward Parker, Ward Newman, Guy Cleveland, Molly Newman, and Lyle Newman (the barber) taken about 1900. In the 1950's it was known as Welton's store, and in the 1960's it was the post office and the store.
