BYGONE IMAGES OF GREENSBORO, MARYLAND

About the Book

The Historical Society of Greensboro, Maryland, presents Bygone Images of Greensboro, a pictorial history of old Greensboro and its early residents. The collection is intended to serve as an introduction to our local history and to encourage readers to learn more about the rich and varied history of our town and the surrounding area. Enjoy a casual stroll through the streets lined with nineteenth and twentieth century homes, churches, and schools, and become acquainted with early residents of the town and their children. Learn about the development of Greensboro’s early infrastructure and the business and industry that was established, for the most part, in support of the extensive farming community that surrounded the town. Discover how the townsfolk earned their livelihood, participated in cultural events, entertained themselves and others, and be inspired to research and preserve Greensboro’s community heritage and your own family history.
