Page 6
Recently, Wachusett Greenways unexpectedly received an intriguing collection of
photographs taken about 1900 from Ming Ivory, Professor of Integrated Science &
Technology at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA. The photos document a
summer outing of yet unidentified individuals, at least some of whom are
presumed to be relatives of Prof. Ivory, by horse and buggy around Rutland and
Princeton, MA, and all the way to the top of Mt. Wachusett.
