Description

Black and white photographs taken during South River's 200th anniversary celebration in 1920. The leftmost photograph shows the houses at 184 and 186 Main Street decorated with flags and bunting for the celebration. The photograph on the right shows a side view of Queen Riverie's float passing along the parade route at an unidentified location. The building in the background has a partially legible sign that may indicate that the house belongs to descendants of Samuel Willett. The two photographs are attached to black paper cut from a photograph album. An additional photograph of three unidentified women is attached to the back along with a torn piece of a fourth photograph.
