This Wednesday’s Magoffin In History takes us back to the mid-1950s with a photograph of a group of children and teenagers gathered outdoors. The image comes from the Thompson family’s historical collection and is preserved in an album labeled 1956, alongside photographs documenting community life in Harper, Magoffin County. While the names of those pictured and the occasion remain unknown, the photograph offers a glimpse of a generation growing up in Eastern Kentucky some 70 years ago. Do you recognize anyone? Were these classmates, neighbors, or members of a local community group? Perhaps you see yourself, a childhood friend, or someone from your family. Help us put names to these faces and preserve another piece of Magoffin County’s history! Photograph from the Charles G. Thompson, Jr. family collection, courtesy of Brenda Thompson Kendall. #AppalachiaInsider #MagoffinInHistory #MagoffinCounty #HarperKentucky #EasternKentucky #KentuckyHistory
