The photos within the boom depict the history of such a beautiful city during its golden era. If youre from Nelsonville this is a great visual history of the city. This makes for a great gift for those whod enjoy looking back at the industrial era of our city. one which makes us proud and brings a smile in imagining what we once were; this makes me proud to be fromNelsonville!
