Small Town III - a photo on Flickriver

Small Town III

Continuing my series, Maxwell is a small town in Story County, Iowa with around 860 people. Businesses include a small grocery store, a gas station, a bank, medical clinic and funeral home. However, what I find fascinating is the Historical Society’s museum. There are two large century-old buildings plus a machine shed with farm implements. I only show one building in this photo, but the combined museum collection holds over 13,00 items from the 1800’s to date. I find that quite amazing for a small town.

Developed with Darktable 4.8.0.

About the series: Life in a small Midwestern town often means a slower pace of life, close-knit communities, and a strong connection to the land and agriculture. Residents typically have a strong sense of pride in their hometown and a friendly, neighborly attitude. Small towns usually have limited employment and entertainment options, but the tradeoff is typically a lower cost of living and a quieter, more peaceful environment. Presented in black and white at night, I hope to capture the essence of a few small Iowa towns in this series. Series Album: flic.kr/s/aHBqjBWTai
