Sepia-toned image of two tables full of people at what appears to be an early morning picnic beneath an open shelter. The men wear suits, and the women wear dresses and cloche hats. Several children are present, mixed in with the crowd. In the background is a two-story building with a covered driveway in the front. Museum records do not identify the event or the location, but this image is part of the Herbert E. McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who also collected other images of daily life, people, and locations in Washington County and northwest Oregon.
Black and white image of a group of men participating in a wheelbarrow race. Most of the participants are adults, but the two in the foreground who appear to be winning are young men. Museum records do not identify the time or place of the race, but it does appear to take place in the summer. Likely it was part of a Fourth of July or other similar community celebration.
Photograph of a group of men, women and children, who are standing around a creek. The crowd includes the Prickett, Rueter, Boose and Weitzhausen families.
Sepia-toned image of a group of men sitting in a field. A woman holding a dish of food stands in the open door of the car, and several of the men gathered about the car appear to be eating and three or four hold coffee cups in their hands. The field behind them is full of rows of harvested grain. In the early 1900s machinery was expensive, and most farmers did not own their own harvesting machinery. Instead paid crews such as this one for the few days it would take to harvest their crops. The crew would then move on to the next farm in the area ready for harvest, or on to another area entirely. Museum records do not identify either the people in the picture or their location, but the photo was part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who, in addition to taking his own photographs, collected images that depicted daily life in the area.
Sepia-toned image mounted on dark card stock of a large group of people outdoors. The men and boys are largely grouped on one side, while the women and girls are on the other. One man with a clerical collar holds a small child wearing overalls; other children are seated on the ground at the front of the group. Clothing is indicative of the early 1900s; the women wear light-colored, high-necked blouses with full sleeves, tucked into long skirts and sport large, flat hats. The men wear wide neckties and suits, and their hats vary from Panama style to boaters to regular fedoras. A number of the boys wear newsboy caps and a couple have large straw hats.
