Press release from the Southampton History Museum:

2021-07-06

The Southampton History Museum has a large collection of photographs documenting the Fourth of July celebrations that have taken place in the town. The oldest of these photographs is dated from 1922, and many of the July 4th events have been documented and stored in our archives all the way up to 2008. Two key locations where these celebrations took place are both Agawam Park, and of course Main Street of Southampton where the parades took place. Quite a few of these photos are from the Bert Morgan Photography Collection, owned by the Southampton History Museum. One significant group is also featured in many of the photographs seen throughout the years: the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).
