At the heart of seven converging roads; Bath is the hub of Northampton County. Consisting of a tannery; a gristmill; two stores; and five dwellings in 1816; Bath evolved into a bustling town with over 175 shops; tradesmen; and professionals. Featured among the more than 200 historic photographs are a rare 1700s map of the Scotch-Irish settlement; Moses George Cigar Factory workers; the shops on the West Main Street Bridge; devastation from the 1945 flood; workers picking celery in the fields; and Miss Bath 1962. Meander through Bath and Its Neighbors and feel the tenacity of its people; the exuberance of their celebrations; and the simplicity of a time not so long ago.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. SAVE with this book!By JoanTom SmithI had spent a lot of time money seeking postcards from the area. then found many of the same images in this book (couldve saved a lot. had I found it earlier!); lots of info and un-before seen pictures are also included to enjoy. Having such a collection in book format is well worth getting!
