Pictures of the Graveyard.
Any old buildings in the village and what they were (when built etc)
I also wondered about the harbour and what had the history of the harbour been.
I still wonder where the old schools were.....no one seemed to know that when I visited.
When did the railway go through that particular area.
How were they effected by the Revolution if anyone knows.
The other day someone came with a box of old pictures after an old Aunt died, in that box were a couple of old postcards and one showed where soldiers were buried in front of the church.........I was so shocked to realize we had walked among those graves and because we didn't read Finn we didn't know what was written on the monument that stands near that church.Those kinds of things translated are very helpful.
Offer pictures of anything old or honouring anything that happened in the past and an explanation of what it represents.
Silly things like street signs that are a little unique or subdivision signs (in Pori the sign for Pietniemi was important to me.)
Old bridges if any are left.
A visit to the local musium was just great fun for us. If you visit the museum and see things that were used or were a part of the community you could take a picture and add a small article about them.What a great site you could build......I wish you were doing one of the towns I'm interested in! ;)
