The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
A documentary sequence records the ruins of a New England dairy barn destroyed by fire, from surviving fieldstone foundations and silo footings to blackened milk cans left atop a stone wall. Alongside it are a wartime Boston parade, steeple repairs in Penacook, and historic graves at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and beyond, tracing rural life, loss, and remembrance in the 1940s.
