A bird's eye view of Hatfield


OK, so it’s winter and we’ve been getting a lot of snow. And more is predicted. But if this week’s snow doesn’t mean a postponement of a special presentation, you’ll have a reason to leave the house on Tuesday (Jan. 25).

“A Bird’s Eye View of Hatfield History” will be the subject of the Hatfield Museum & History Society’s community program at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. A slideshow presentation of aerial photographs will depict the changing face of Hatfield during the past 75 years.

In the photo shown here, the George Didden Greenhouses on Vine Street are prominently in view. This is a 1941 aerial photograph of Hatfield Borough. The railroad and trolley tracks can be seen in the bottom-right corner, and the former Hatfield High School is visible in the distant top center.

The program will be held in the Hatfield Fire Company Banquet Hall, 75 Market St., Hatfield. The public is invited and refreshments will be served. And let’s all hope the weather will cooperate.
