Hi everyone, here are the Local History Photos of the Week!

(Click on the photos for a larger view!)

Photo 1: Rockwell & Shumway Store

Our first photo for this week is of the Rockwell & Schumway store on Market Street in the days of old!

Photo 2: Market Street 

And our second photo for this week is also of Market Street in the days of old, long before the street was paved.

And isn’t that horse drawn carriage cool!

Have a great weekend!

Corning History is a Southeast Steuben County Library blog.

Library Local History/Creation Station Resources:

At the library you can scan your photos and slides to create digital family albums and slideshows; and even use one of the Circut machines, and other Creation Station equipment, to help you create a special paper family history album.

Also of note, we have the local paper, at times called the Corning Leader, Corning Journal or Corning Daily Journal, on microfilm from 1840 to the present — so you can visit the library and research local history and your family tree if you wish!

And…

And if you find any old photos or postcards of the Corning area that you don’t know what to do with – you can always donate them to the library!
