The archive of the Freeport Historical Society has been a rich and vital resource for the creation of this book. Since its founding in 1969, the historical society has been given photographs of great merit which have been assembled, documented, captioned, and arranged by historians, designers, and researchers who are members of its committees and its staff. With this new book, both residents of Freeport and their visitors will uncover a gateway to reminiscence and a path to discovery.
