“Chicken Plant, 1956”

This panoramic image was carefully assembled using frame captures from the “Remember When” video (link in the comments). We think this offers a new look at the history of Jamestown, bringing together times and places that haven’t been seen this way before. We hope it brings back memories.

No AI tools were used in creating this image—our goal is to preserve and present history as authentically as possible. We use GIMP for image editing.

Good morning everyone! Woke up today to find we are at 7200 followers, and remembered the significance of 72!

Who remembers having a license plate with a 72 on it? What others do you remember still today?

Thanks everyone for your friendship and following! It’s been a great time finding and sharing our history.
