Merry Christmas from the Historical Society of Cecil County

As we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, we share two photos from the 1970s holidays in Cecil County.  These two images are from the Jim Cheeseman collection, a photo journalist who donated over 10,000 images to the Society.

In the top photo Santa takes a break while working at a Cecil County Dept. Store, while in the lower image he's arriving in downtown Elkton in the 1970s
