Alan Rumrill has drawn on the extensive collections of the Historical Society of Cheshire County to create a captivating history that documents the changing nature of Keene from the 1850s to the 1960s. Most of the images are rare, and all are fascinating, from views of Central Square, the "widest paved Main Street in the world," to photographs of the industries, buildings, and people who have formed the lifeblood of Keene over the years.
