Town of Whately, MA - Official Town Website

Unidentified Photos....
The Historical Society received about a dozen photos during its drive for photos of Whately brides. The photos were purchased through eBay from a seller who obtained them at a Whately tag sale. Some photos have writing on them in Polish but no dates. Interested in helping them solve this mystery?
Stop by the Historical Society on Tuesday mornings or see some of the photos on their website
