New Egypt and Plumsted Township is a collection of unique vintage photographs; many of which have never before been published. Beginning with Quaker Clement Plumstead of London; who was granted twenty-seven hundred acres in 1699; this history shows the progression of the township to the mid-1900s. At the end of the nineteenth century; railroad transportation brought visitors to New Egypt; which blossomed with hotels; guesthouses; the Isis Theatre; and carnivals on Oakford Lake. Among the images are views of Harkers Grove; a favorite spot for picnics and dancing on the pavilion; Sunday concerts held by local talent in New Egypt; and the open space that has made hunting; fishing; and other outdoor activities popular pastimes for locals and visitors alike.
