Keene is the largest town in Cheshire County, located in the southwest corner of New Hampshire. Cheshire County is home to Mount Monadnock, one of the most climbed mountains in the world, which used to be frequented by Thoreau and Emerson. The Keene Public Library started scanning and uploading hundreds of historical photos and postcards of Keene and surrounding Cheshire County in its collection. When we ran out of our own photos, we started working on the thousands of photos at the Historical Society of Cheshire County. All of the scanning and enhancing of the photos has been done by our extraordinary volunteer, Bob Borden. Please feel free to add information or comments.

7/2/18. This house is quite altered from the historic photo above, but still a beauty. It looked as it looks in the 2012 street street view capture when I was a child.

Its interesting to see this line of “duds” in VWs transistion from the highly successful Beetle to the successful Rabbit. VW had a hard time pushing those 412s out the door while competing with the modern Audi sourced Dasher. These are unsold 1974 models as these was no 412 for 1975. Both these models soured people on VWs and sent them into Japanese showrooms never to return. Even today VW enthusiasts stay away from these models.
