Community
The landscape of turn-of-the-century Montgomery County was partially shaped by the industry and commerce that formed the center of community life outside the home. This community infrastructure included urban businesses like stores, hotels, and service shops, as well as rural occupations like mills and farms. The initiative of people working toward common goals helped establish strong cultural bonds and led to the growth and development of the community. Featured in this section are vintage photographs of many landmark businesses, historic sites, and services from early 20th century Montgomery County.
