Navigate
this site by clicking on the links on the left. The Early
Years pages contain photographs from 1896 to
1929. There are various shots of Main Street when the
roads were dirt and most of the buildings were simple
wooden structures. There are several views of the old
court houses and scenes of the arrival of the first
locomotive in 1912. The
1930s - 1940s page covers a period of time
when Hazard and Perry County were becoming prosperous
due to the growing coal industry. The
1950s - 1960s is well represented here. These
pages contain the largest number of photographs. There
are several good shots of a crowded Main Street
bustling with people, classic cars, and busy shops. A
few of these photographs are in color.
As
the name implies, Flood
Pictures has a number of photos from the
devastating floods that hit the region in 1927, 1939,
1957, and 1963. There are many shots of flooded businesses
and clean-up work. The Miscellaneous
page has a mixture of things in it including old
advertisements, a bus schedule, radio program
listings, posters and brochures.
