Summer of 76
If you wish you could go back to the summer of 76 to relive your youth or experience it for the first time, we have exciting news for you! One of our volunteers, Will Pearson, has created a new exhibit for the Trent Valley Archives titled “A Peterborough Summer: 1976.”
Featuring photographs he scanned from our Peterborough Examiner collection of negatives, the exhibit highlights what summer in Peterborough looked like 50 years ago through its thoughtful curation of snapshots taken by Examiner photographers in 1976.
The exhibit will be coming to Dreams of Beans Café (141 Charlotte Street in Peterborough) in August, and will officially open on Friday, August 7 during the First Friday Art Crawl from 6pm-9pm. After the opening, the exhibit will be available to view anytime the café is open between August 7 and September 2.
Prior to the exhibit opening, it will be popping up at the DBIA “Movies at the Park” event on Tuesday, July 28 at the Quaker Foods City Square on Charlotte Street.
We hope you’ll take the opportunity to be transported back in time this summer!
