Here is an impressive city entrance gate, no doubt loaded down with history. See if you can identify this photo, and tell what it signifies. Send your ideas to elliott@brack.net, and include the town where you live.
Terra Winter of Lawrenceville was among those who recognized the last Mystery Photo: “I believe this is the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. We visited there in 2017 & 2018 when our son, Luke, played baseball at the nearby Cooperstown Dreams Park. For any baseball fan, The Hall of Fame is a must-see destination.” The photo came from Ross Lenhart of Stone Mountain.
Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville, added: “Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. Been there many times. In the 1980’s, my buddy and I would go up there for long weekends during the World Series and watch the games at nearby pubs and go to the museum during the day(s). In the late 1980’s my brother in law became the music director for Cooperstown public schools. So, we had a few family trips up there. Cooperstown has changed through the years from a quiet upstate New York town to a place loaded with baseball camps for kids and other tourist attractions.”
Among others recognizing the photo were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who found that “The Hall of Fame was established in 1939 by Stephen Carlton Clark (1882–1960), an American art collector, businessman, newspaper publisher and philanthropist. Clark sought to bring tourists to the city hurt by the Great Depression, which reduced the local tourist trade, and Prohibition, which devastated the local hops industry.”
