Rural Heritage June/July 2025

J.C. Allen Archives John O. Allen manages a collection of more than 70,000 photos taken by his grandfather, J.C. Allen, his father Chester P. Allen, and himself during the past 100 years. Their photos perfectly document the lifestyle of rural America in the first half of the 20th Century.
