  • 21:38, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs uploaded File:Cub Scouts 1940s.jpg (While unfortunately blurry, this photo shows Brunswick's Cub Scout Troop posing on the old tank in Veterans Park. We think the graffiti was there as late as the 1970s. No idea what it means. We can't confirm, but the photo may date to the early- to mid-1940s along with others in this collection. Rebecah Staup Daggett Great memories. 1970’s A Street Gang. We had one word - “Patton”. Chris Weitzel Karl Marcy Anders Metzgar we played on and in that tank every day. Steve Moore Had a lot of fun...)

  • 21:25, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs uploaded File:City Hall Metal Drive WWII.jpg (The notation on the back of this photo was "World War II Metal Collection: City Hall - A Street". Items like these were donated for the war effort as part of the "Salvage for Victory" program that was launched on January 10, 1942. Citizens scoured their homes, farms and businesses for metal. Housewives donated pots and pans, farmers turned in farm equipment and children even sacrificed metal toys. Unfortunately, only 25% of the iron work collected was used for munitions and by 1944, much of...)

  • 21:20, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs uploaded File:Brunswick Community Band Circa 1915.jpg (The Brunswick Community Band, circa 1915. Town bands were once commonplace, and many small towns in our region had one. The trombone player on the bottom left is reportedly Grover "Tops" Stewart. Third row back and second from the right holding a trumpet is Frank A. Barker. Charles Booth is believed to have been the last man on the top row holding his tuba.

  • 21:03, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs uploaded File:1924 Flood Aerial View Virginia Side.jpg (This early aviation aerial photo shows the raging Potomac River leaving its banks on the Virginia side of the old bridge. When this photo was taken in May, 1924, the bridge had been ordered closed to all traffic heading to and from Brunswick, which was obviously the right call as it was under deep water. At the approach, we see the old bridge tollhouse on the left that was destroyed by the historic flood of 1936. The section closest to the bridge access ramp was demolished in 1955 when the n...)

Michael Campbell That is the Classification Yard. If you zoom in, you can see the power poles. They separated the even and odd numbered tracks. The even are where the coal cars are and the odd are the mixed freight cars. Ed Hartman I lived along the the Washington Branch and could lay in my bed and see in the cab of the Engine as it passed. Could also the conductor sitting in the caboose I was always...)

We assume that Mr. Grams got a good deal on the car since he sold Buicks at his service station located on Petersville Road. The photo was taken when the Grams family lived near the Farmers Picnic Woods between the Lutmans and the Mains. (Photo courtesy of John Brubaker) Category: Smoketown People)

  • 20:47, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs uploaded File:Mary Lou Walker.JPG (Mary Lou Walker delivers a duckpin ball at the old Brunswick Bowling Center on 620 Souder Road in the 1960s. From all reports, Mary Lou was an excellent Tuesday Night league bowler. Janet Roudabousch Biser I would say that Mary Lou was probably the best lady bowler at the Brunswick alley. She was a great bowler. Judy Ware She was one of Brunswick's great bowlers. Anna Rentzel Wow, that brings back a lot of memories, we had a lot of fun in those days. She was hard to beat!!!!

  • 18:17, 17 March 2024 Pwenner talk contribs uploaded File:Potomac River Bridge in Snow.JPG (We've seen several photos of the old 1893 bridge looking towards Brunswick, but this snowy view seems rare. No current member of the Brunswick History Commission had seen it before. With the houses on N. Dayton Avenue in view above the old West End Elementary School that were built in 1920, this photo likely dates to the decade of the Roaring '20s.
