A wonderful picture of personnel at Swartsel Groves in Elfers in perhaps the 1950s is here. If you right-click on the picture and choose ORIGINAL, you can see great detail in the picture. Photo provided by Mark Swartsel. A picture from the 1927 dedication of the New Port Richey Main Street Bridge is here. We’ve had this picture for a while but did not know the occasion or most of the names until now. WiFi is now available at the museum and in Sims Park, courtesy of GulfCoast Networking. On April 7 veteran re-enactor Keith Kohl from Ocala, author of Florida’s Civil War Years, spoke at the WPHS. Some pictures are here (last page, last 9 photos). On June 9 at 1 p.m. Bob Hubach will present a history of the telephone industry. A display of antique telephones and equipment will be shown.
