A Family Outing at Proctor Park in the 1940s

A little trip back to Proctor Park in the 1940s.

This home movie captures a family outing at the park more than 80 years ago — one of those everyday moments that probably didn’t seem historic at the time.

Take a look at the clothes, the park, and the people enjoying a day out. Does anything in the film look familiar to you?
