#MasonCountyHistory

Over the past 35 years of researching local history I have acquired an extensive collection of historical photos. There are several images that I don’t have a lot of information about but would like to find out more. Today, I’m posting some local agriculture images from Mason County’s past. I have included captions with as much information that I have. If you have any additional accurate information on these images please contact me by either commenting or messaging through Facebook or emailing me at editor@mediagroup31.com.
