Southern Ontario family celebration picnic c1950

Toronto. The photo at left is another bit of family history showing a group of relatives congregating in the woods for a picnic.

Photo collectors often choose pricier photos from two centuries ago for their collection, over looking cheaper ‘snap shots’ about a century newer.

These ‘newer’ photos often record family history – if you can discover the subjects, location, etc. and the photo relates to you in some fashion. Regardless of source, the snap shots often add charm to  a collection even if the subjects and location remain unknown.

Be sure to visit our events for 2025. Dates and location are in the right sidebar. As the event approaches, a post will be pinned to the top of the front page of this site.

Note: The post title is from an old children’s song sung here by Anne Murray. It was brought to mind by the above photo of a picnic in the woods of a park nearly 3/4s of a century ago…
