EXHIBIT OF 29 CAPE SCNES WILL OPEN SUNDAY AT LIBRARY

An exhibit of 29 photographs featuring street scenes of Cape Girardeau will be on display starting Sunday at the Cape Girardeau Public Library.

The exhibit is produced by Tom Neumeyer and the photographs originated from the archives of the Regional History Center at Southeast Missouri State University. The display is underwritten by Southeast Missouri Bank of Cape Girardeau.

The photographs show people in their environs at the park, along the riverfront, on the steamboats and on horse-drawn wagons.

Dated from the turn of the century to the first part of the 20th century, the photographs provide a glimpse of the lifestyles of long ago. Neumeyer, a native of Cape Girardeau and graduate of Southeast, owns the Olive Branch Bed and Breakfast in Cape Girardeau.

An opening reception will be held in the Hirsch Community Room at the library from 2-4 p.m. Sunday.
