Come witness the amazing transformation of the valley with the construction of the Quabbin Reservoir. Special before-and-after photographs of the valley highlight this exhibit. Historical photos from Mr. Campbell's extensive collection will transport you to a time before the building of the dam, when four towns thrived in this region.
Les Campbell's home and studio are nestled in this beautiful setting, where he has been photographing for more than 40 years. He includes some of his award winning nature and wildlife photography to compliment this exhibit.
