On July 4, 1897, construction was underway beside the railroad depot in downtown Natick. This 129-year-old photograph provides a glimpse of Natick Center at the end of the nineteenth century.

The reverse is inscribed, “Depot – Natick – July 4th, 1897 Louie A. Bacon.” The photograph was donated by Mrs. Lucille Brooks of Kinsman Place, Natick, in the 1930s.

Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸
Today we celebrate the courage, sacrifice, and fighting spirit that helped shape our nation. The story of American independence was carried forward by local communities, neighbors, and ordinary people willing to stand for something larger than themselves.

Here’s to 250 years of history, remembrance, and pride. God Bless America.
