This book grew from the Then & Now monthly feature in the weekly
micro-magazine The Vulture. Larry Holland, the co-publisher and
photographer, and Anne Collins, write a weekly feature on local history
in the publication. Every month Anne Collins submits an old photograph
or postcard along with a short article and Larry Holland locates and
photographs what is currently there and writes a short article. Over
ninety photographs of Bellows Falls & Surrounding Tows, Villages and
Hamlets are featured, spanning from November of 2010 until June of 2014.
After about a year of doing the features, Anne and Larry realized they
had a growing collection of Then & Now pictures. They decided to look
into the possibility of publishing a book. Within a few months of this
decision, Anne Collins was contacted by Fonthill inquiring if she was
interested in producing a book for their America Through Time series.
Although this book is finished, the Then & Now project continues.
