Photos

Through our staff, volunteers, and programs, Redmond Historical Society serves the community by providing primary sources such as historical documents, pictures, artifacts, and oral histories that all show the development, growth, and narrative of the Redmond we know today. With over 30,000 records of photographs and scanned data, the Society has grown into one of the largest civic organizations in the city.

The photos in our collection depict a wide variety of  individuals, places, and events from Redmond's unique past.  Each photo holds a connection to the city of Redmond, and helps tell the story of the town we all hold dear.

We've selected a few photos from our collection, organized into categories below. Use these photos as inspiration for your poem! We've included some factual details to provide additional information and context, but we encourage you to use your imagination. What feelings or narratives do these photos evoke?
