The busy harbor of Port Washington in the
olden days, with its old fashioned schooners and other craft, looked
like a big city harbor then, but today (1935) everything is changed,

| Fourth of July parade, in 1889, in "Old"
Port Washington. A stirring patriotic spectacle that thrilled
the spectators then as in the succeeding years. Fourth of July
has been observed each year, with fitting ceremonies and enjoyable
celebrations. (Click photo to enlarge)

Main Street on "Old" Port Washington, looking
east. With its stately trees, many standing today (1935), it
was a street to be proud of. Yet today it is hardly
recognizable, with its improvements and additions and added
attractiveness.

Street, in the olden days. It was a dirt road, muddy at times,
but today it is paved, and very much built up. (Click photo to enlarge)
