Liberty, New York, as it appeared in August 2001

Does your personal history take you back to Liberty?
Ours does.  When we were preparing the Liberty CD-ROM we went back to take a look around -- and spent two full days photographing the area as it appeared in the summer of 2001).  Digital photography permits one to take lots and lots of images, and for the CD-ROM we selected what we thought were the 80 best -- or at least the 80 most meaningful to us.  A few of them are from the same vantage points that Otto Hillig used in his famous 1918 picture book.  ( Pictures from the Otto Hillig book to see some of Hillig's images.)     Here are a few of the 80 we selected.  Click any of the samples below to see larger images.  (On the CD-ROM there's also a slide show of selected pictures from that group of 80.)

If you haven't been "back home" in several years, these photos may come as a bit of a surprise to you.  You might also be surprised if you've heard that Liberty had fallen on hard times.  In many ways it has, like most upstate New York communities.  But in many ways it looks like a community that has finally bottomed out and is on the way back up.  For example, Liberty now has a historic district, a museum, and a resurgent Liberty Theatre.  You'll see some views of the Liberty renaissance on the CD-ROM -- as well as a little of the bad news, of course.
