Reseña del libro "Hollis (en Inglés)"

Signs posted on the main roads leading into Hollis tell those who pass that they are entering an agricultural community, where pride in the beauty and peacefulness that farming brings to the town makes Hollis a special place. In this photographic history, hundreds of vintage images of people, landscapes, buildings, and more offer a kaleidoscopic view into the past. The rural way of life, religious matters, sacrifices in times of war, and quiet country living are illustrated through insightful and compelling captions. Although the number of farms has drastically decreased over time, the Hollis area continues to contain thousands of acres of land under cultivation with a diversity of crops. Prosperous farmers of earlier centuries donated land to the town, sparking a tradition of conservation to preserve and protect natural resources such as waterways, forests, and animal corridors. Throughout the year, visitors come so they may enjoy all that farming has to offer or for recreation in Hollis's forests or on the numerous ponds and waterways.The Hollis Historical Society was formed in 1958 to preserve and honor the area's past and connect residents with the history and heritage of the town. The society maintains two museums and their collections--the Always Ready Engine House and the Ruth Wheeler House, both located in the historic district of town. Hollis Historical Society members maintain genealogical databases and catalogs and preserve information and historic objects that are available to assist residents in research.
