Within the Carroll County History Museum's digital photo archives are hundreds of photos of old friends and families who have no names. Not known to us, at least. Take a few moments and review just a few of these images below. Some photos are recent enough to depict Carroll County folks perhaps still with us. Others will likely only be recalled from memories or other familiar photographs.
You just might recognize someone and solve one mystery.
If you have a collection of old, unlabeled family photographs, ask the oldest person you know to go through them with you. Label the photo backs lightly in pencil. Don't wait!
