Vintage Photos Crowd Gathering for 4th of July 1911 In 1911, fashionably dressed men, women and children holding flags waited patiently for the Village's first Fourth of July parade to pass along at the intersection of Academy Street, Irving & South Orange Avenues. The photographer's camera cases are positioned near the curb. (Courtesy Montrose Park Historic District Association, gift from B. Nolan) Return to Vintage Photos
