Historical Society to Reprint “Reflections of Cameron County"

The Cameron County Historical Society has contracted with a Pennsylvania publishing company to reprint "Reflections of Cameron County" created in 1994 that shows a pictorially Cameron County from its beginning to recent times.

This amazing book packed full of photos that were shared by local residents and some from the files of the Cameron County Historical Society, is an extremely rare book, only 100 were sold at the time. 

Internet searches for the book continual yield no results. It's a pictorial research tool we at the Historical Society often use when determining how things looked at a certain moment in time.

 Unfortunately we have one copy and had no means to reproduce it without destroying it for reprint. Technology today has given us the opportunity to make it available once again to the general public 

"Reflections" is a treasure trove of 135 pages with over 400 photos that came from Cameron Coounty residents, both present and past including some from the Cameron County Historical Society files. These images signify a wide range of the houses, businesses, and industry that once lined our streets, some still in existence today. How about the "old pedestrian tunnel" that was once under the railroad at the end of south Popular Street that permitted employees access to Sylvania without going over the tracks, that photo is in the book and so much more. 

 This is a book that you will not want to sit down and look through alone. It demands family and friends who will want to reminisce. It's the perfect gift to take to a reunion, family gathering or a party it will become the highlight of the event and everyone will want a copy to.

Pre-orders only are being accepted for “Reflections of Cameron County” as the Historical Society must meet a minimum threshold in order to have the book printed. 

The final date to order will be October 31, 2015, and the Historical Society plans to have the books shipped in December, in time to offer as a unique Christmas gift for any local history buff. 

The book will cost $30 the same it did over 20 years ago and shipping to any US location is available for an additional $5. Checks can be made out to the Cameron County Historical Society and sent to PO Box 433; Emporium, PA 15834.
