Vintage Essex Trivia
Every Monday we publish a vintage Essex photograph or miscellaneous artifact and ask you to share what you know about the image. What is featured? Where and when was the image most likely created? Can you help decipher these visual time capsules? Sometimes a guess is all it takes to help unravel the mystery! The Vintage Essex Trivia challenge is a fun (and interesting) way to explore our Essex, NY heritage. Part research, part game, part "crowdsourcing". Together we can collect and preserve valuable artifacts and knowledge before they succumb to the passage of time. We can celebrate the memories and stories of our forebears while simultaneously archiving and curating our cultural heritage for generations still to come. Learn more about
