Old photos of Brewster and Southeast
Hi everyone! My name is Lisa and I own the Tilly Foster General Store in Southeast. I'm planning on putting a book together on Brewster/Southeast (we're among the only local towns that are not represented in Arcadia's regional line of books). Photographs mainly comprise these books and I have a few of my own and hopefully the museum will allow permission to reproduce their cache. I'm looking for longtime residents of the area who may have personal photos that have never before been published (pre-1970 especially). That is how I came by my best photos, from people moseying into our shop and generously sharing their stories and photos with us. We are interested in the entire town of Southeast as well as Brewster Village (including the hamlets of Tilly Foster and Dyckman's, etc.). If you can lend a hand, please call me at the store or even better, come by and have a coffee. My contact info follows:
