Welcome to Joe's Wilbraham Photo History Site! Here you will find possibly the largest on-line gallery of Wilbraham (Massachusetts, USA) photos that exists today. The photos within range in age from the late 1800s to modern times. A number of the photos within are not available anywhere but here. In addition to photos, there are other items of historical value within. Please note that the intent of this site is not to recount the detailed history of the town in words (several books have already been written on that topic); this site is devoted mainly to showing photographs and to sharing old memories. Another goal of this site is to document some history of the town that may not be otherwise widely known, and to share with people how things used to be in the "good old days" of Wilbraham.

Please note that this site is 100% privately funded, and it is neither endorsed nor sponsored officially by the Town of Wilbraham. In other words, this site is a personal project that I work on as time allows. Visitors are encouraged to submit material, provide additional descriptive notes, personal accounts of historical events, corrections, etc. Credits will be given for material (if such information is available and if credit is desired). It is hoped that as time goes on, more people will discover this site and offer additional material. Please contact me (below) if you have material that you would like to contribute.

NOTE 1: I added a new item to the Miscellaneous History section (see button below). The new item is a scan of an old booklet with some writings on the history of Wilbraham and Hampden. Also some additional new items appear in this section as a result of a recent donation.

NOTE 2: I am in the process of upgrading a number of photos to high resolution format (my new and far larger dedicated server space allows this). Images that are large format and/or high resolution have an "HD" symbol next to them. It will take some time to update all of the images, but the increased quality is worth it.

NOTE 3: Will the person who wrote to me the week of 14 November 2005 (former Wilbraham resident, lived here in the 60s, now from Colorado) please re-send the e-mail? The POS computer I was using at the time wiped out the e-mail before I was able to save it... I'd love to look at the links and photos!
