Each week, we'll bring you a different historic photo of the Lincoln area with as much information about the picture as we have available. If you can provide further information, please e-mail us and we'll share it with our viewers. If you have old photos taken in the greater Lincoln area, e-mail them to us and we'll post them here with photo credit. Our thanks to the Barker Business Services and the Lincoln Maine Federal Credit Union for sponsoring this page. For more about Lincoln's past, visit our History section!

"Enjoyed the photo (History Photo of the Week, Dec. 23-30, 2009). When we were kids in the 50's we used to go down to the railroad depot in the foreground. Sometimes we would pick up pieces of coal near the track or put pennies on the track for the train to flatten. I can remember telling time by the sound of the 7 AM train horn coming through in the morning. Also by the 9 PM siren from the fire station. hanks for the memories and hope all of you have a Merry Christmas. " - Lynchburg, VA

This photo, courtesy of the Lincoln Historical Society, shows that there was plenty of snow on Main Street in 1922!

We change the History Photo of the Week each Wednesday night. Drop by again soon to see what's new - or should that be what's old?
