We need your help! The Historical Society Museum has opened a new exhibit celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary. Part of the exhibit is a collection of photos from Babylon’s celebration of the bicentennial in 1976. Many of the folks in the photos are not identified. We are hoping that some of you may be able to identify them. Here are just a few samples, but if you would like to see more and help us put a name to a face, please stop by at the Museum during our open hours of 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
