From All Of Us At The Historical Society, wishing you a happy, peaceful and safe holiday season!

Turrentine Farm

This photo was submitted by John McFarland, today. He reports it is from the collection of the Tolson family of 9th street in Gadsden. The photo was made shortly before snapshots were common. It is believed it was made in 1891 or 1892. Historian, Jerry Jones, also believes this photo is likely of the Turrentine farm at that time, shortly before development changed it so much.
Thanks to John for sharing it and we encourage others to share their photos.
