Vintage Rockford Class Pictures Now On Display

One of the newest  exhibits in the RAM is the display of Rockford Graduation Class pictures 

dating back to 1922.  They have all been framed and are hanging in the RAM's rear hallway

for everyone to see.   Here is the picture of the 1946 class as an example.  Over the years, the

Rockford Area Historical Society did a terrific job of collecting these valuable photos, but

they were all in different frames or were not framed at all.  They were stored but were not

easily accessed for viewing.  New frames and an area dedicated to their display changes that.  

We hope you will have a chance to stop by to see what familiar names and faces you may find

in this exhibit.

​

THE NEW RAM  WAS NOT  PRIMARILY FUNDED BY HUGE

CORPORATE GIFTS OR GOVERNMENT FUNDS.  YOUR RAM

IS THE RESULT OF A GOOD OLD FASHIONED GRASS ROOTS

EFFORT BY THE PEOPLE IN THE GREATER ROCKFORD AREA

WHO KNEW THAT OUR RICH HERITAGE WAS WORTH

SAVING FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

​

Many call this "THE ROCKFORD WAY" because the people of this

great community always seem to come through when a genuine need

is recognized. 

 

You can be confident that the new RAM will continue to work to

increase its service to the community - our way of saying THANK YOU

to the People from the entire Rockford area who made this all possible.

IF YOU HAVEN'T VISITED THE NEW RAM YET, PLEASE PLAN

TO DO SO SOON. WE THINK YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AND

PROUD OF WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
