Clermont History Project -- Photos Wanted
Updated October 2019
UPDATE: If you have photos or memories of Clermont to share, go to the Clermont Memories page.
Many Clermont residents have lived in or around town for decades, and they can attest to the fact that much has changed, even in the last 5, 10, 20 years! Many new residents are unaware of what life in Clermont was like even a few years ago, and some have been asking about the history of their older homes or buildings in town. If you have photos that show events, schools, streets, houses, churches, shops, farms, and life in general from in and around Clermont--even from the early 2000s--your town councillor Mike Beam would be happy to scan your photos and preserve them as part of an ongoing Clermont history project. Currently, Mike fields historical questions from residents and relies on newspaper articles he can find, library reference documents, or the scattered stories and photos across social media. But your own local photos, family memoirs, postcards, and other historical items would be even more helpful! Contact Mike at ClermontMikeBeam@gmail.com if you have photos or another item to share (it's OK if the photos include people!).
