Reposted from Once Upon a Time in Needham for your Halloween pleasure.

While we still lived in Norwood, I was privileged to serve in a volunteer capacity in the archives at the Congregational Church of Needham. The archives are full of photos like this one. Charming, evocative, and completely mysterious.

• Who are these people?
• What were they doing? Decorating for a Harvest Festival? Performing a play?
• What year was this taken?

If you know anything about this photo, please leave a comment or email me at shalahowell(at)gmail.com.

Thanks!
