From Lyman Point to the Coolidge Hotel, North Main to Maple Street, Pam’s Post to the Old Post, White River Junction is worth looking at. This summer, we’re inviting photographers of all skill levels to show us what they see: the light, the details, the people, the history.
One theme each month. Three winners each month. All celebrating the spirit of the Junction.
