Rare 1890s Columbus Photo Album Reveals Stunning Glimpse Into History

Kristen Newby at the Columbus Metropolitan Library provides a fascinating account of Columbus, Ohio, in the 1890s.

The photographer captured the city's character through his images, including candid shots of his family. His collection features beautiful photographs of events like the 1894 eclipse and then-Gov. and future President William McKinley's visit to Delaware, Ohio.

Ohio Snapshots In Time digs into Ohio history one image at a time.
