Dive into old photos from the Weston History & Culture Center archives and uncover the stories they tell. Learn about the early days of photography, explore photos from over 150 years ago, and use clues to create a story about these images from the past. Through discussion and hands-on activities, this class will inspire you to see photography in a new light.

No prior experience is required. Bring a camera, tablet or smartphone to capture photos. Please let us know if you don’t have one and we will provide one to share.

Taught by Kira Joshi and Samantha Fargione, Executive Director.
