Photos from the library's collection...

The Indiana Room at the library currently houses a few photographs of historic Greensburg that have been donated over the years. Since this is such a small collection, we've decided to give the photos to the Decatur County Historical Society. Before we part with them, though, we wanted to scan them and make them available to a wider audience. Please leave a comment or contact us if you have any additional information about these photos!

  1. The band photo is an amazing find! Thank you so much for sharing these old photos. The man on the left in the front row looks exactly like my dad, who is a Robbins descendant; however, his grandfather, Charles M Robbins, would've been 43, so would that have been too old? (If I'm correct, both Cliff and Walter are 23yo in this photo) I think I see a resemblance between the guy on the front left (*has* to be a close relative of mine!)and Harry Robbins, though I cannot figure out how we would be related. I can be contacted at laura@myrocket.com if anyone has any information. Thank you!
