HISTORIC SPOT POST CARDS
Photographers at Work at Battlefield
Park and Other Places.

Fark ana Otner PiaCeS.
The work of securing Photographic
negatives of spots of historic inter-
est in this vicinity for postcard pur-
poses is going on at the present time.
A party consisting of DR. II. c. Day,
Elijah Dewey, II. L. Sullson, +. T.
Grswold and A. Wtteman, a Brook.
Ign photographer. visited Battlefield
park this morning to secure photo
graphs OF that place The work is
being done under the direc-
ton Of number of local
men whose object is to place per-
manent markers on the many histori-
cal places throughout this section
Bronze and stone tablets bearing in
scriptions viii be used and photo
graphs of the marked localities will
be reproduced on postal cards
Many OF these places have no
markers whatever at the present
time and much difficulty in finding
the exact places where historical
events occurred has been expert
enced In some cases wooden mark
ers had been used, but these have
become so defaced that they are in a
large number of cases illegible BY
reproducing the scenes on post cards.
it is believed that the local history
will become better known, not only
in Bennington, but wherever the
cards are sent
AT Battlefield Park six interesting
views were obtained Five of these
were taken from different points on
the nearby hill A number of views
of this field were taken last fall, but
poor results were obtained. The
party was favored with excellent
weather today and it is thought that
fine photographs will be secured.
