PORTRAITS OF SUMNER COUNTY'S PAST
Pictures of thousands of former Sumner County residents captured more than a century ago are being made available to the public for the first time. The Sumner County Archives is working to preserve and digitize an estimated 7,000 glass negatives of portraits that were taken by photographer Earnest Stark between 1906 and possibly the 1930’s.
