Ogden’s Panorama

This panorama image was taken in or around 1914. I’ve started with the full image, then added four closeups which each show a quarter of the image in closeup.

Downtown Ogden in 1986

Enjoy a drive through Ogden’s Washington Boulevard back in 1986.

The snow is still lying on the ground, but the sunshine and clear blue skies are beautifully captured on this old home video tape.

Ogden’s Watermelon Park

Watermelon Park is Ogden’s smallest park, located between 25th and 26th streets on Eccles.

But that’s just an informal name used by locals for the community space, because of its oval shape. Its official name is the Historic Eccles Park.

The park is maintained by the city, alongside the local volunteers who look after the plants and flower beds.

Around the parks are a range of beautiful historic homes, built more than a century ago for Ogden’s prominent citizens. Plaques have been erected around the park about the historic homes and their long-ago residents.

The mature trees were planted back in 1908, today providing pleasant shade.

The History of Manchester, New Hampshire and the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company

  The story of Manchester, New Hampshire, is the definitive narrative of the American Industrial Revolution. It is a chronicle that spans centuries, transforming a vital Indigenous fishing ground into a planned corporate utopia that housed the world's largest textile empire, before navigating a devastating collapse and emerging as a modern high-tech hub. At the absolute center of this transformation was the Merrimack River, the Amoskeag Falls, and a corporate behemoth known as the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company. Manchester, New Hampshire, composed from sketches taken near Rock Raymond by J.B. Bachelder, 1855. 1. Ancient Waters and Colonial Beginnings (Pre-1810) Long before brick mills lined the Merrimack River, the geography of modern-day Manchester was shaped by the Amoskeag Falls .
