Tomorrow is the big day! The 175 Anniversary of the founding of the county! Here is a photo taken in the Shiretown (the Capital of the County) around 1960. The photo would have been taken from the doorstep of PJ Collins store, which was next to the Tax Office.

Alma is the place to be in the heat of summer. It’s even cooler than Hopewell Cape! Here is a cool photo of Alma Harbour. I can make out the name on the white schooner - Adonis but the tugboat and other schooner are hard to make out. Any ideas?

Now a photo from Hillsborough taken in May 1960. This Freight Train is loaded with gypsum board at one time Albert County Gypsum was considered the best in the world. Notice the marsh land with no trees, it’s amazing how quick they grow here.

Back to work Tuesday, and back to hay season, the work never stops on the farm. Here is an amazing photo of haying on the Shepody marsh ca. 1917.

Happy New Brunswick Day! Enjoy your day off New Brunswick, this year we have earned it! Here is an iconic shot of the Hopewell Rocks from 1940.

After yesterday’s photo of haying, now that was hot work. We need to cool off, with this trip to Alma, and photo of a cove around Herring Cove in this 1940 photo.

It’s haying season in Albert County. Did you know marsh hay was one of the biggest exports from Albert County until the dawn of the automobile? Albert County marsh hay sold for top dollar in Europe and the US. it was the best in the world at the time. Here is a great photo of haying on the William West farm about 1908.

It’s Friday and our last photo of our trip to the 70th Anniversary of the founding of Fundy National Park. Here is a beautiful vista looking down over the park. This was taken on opening day July 28, 1950.

A nice shot to give you an idea about the crowd size on opening day 70 years ago! This photo was taken near Headquarters in the park.

We’re having so much fun in the park, I don’t want to leave! So here is another photo from opening day! With a male contestant teeing off at the invitational golf tournament featured on the opening day of Fundy National Park.

Happy 70th Birthday Fundy National Park! Here we have a colour photo from the official opening day of the park. Look at the radio microphones, and the stack of hats below the table!

Seems like a nice day for a bit of a row, I wonder when they put these out of commission?
