New historic calendar captures Fall River memories

Fall River residents can revisit nearly a century of local memories in the Fall River Scholarship Foundation’s 2027 historic calendar, featuring scenes from Sandy Beach, Main Street, the Braga Bridge and other familiar city locations. The $5 calendar is now on sale at several area businesses, according to a community announcement. Proceeds from calendar sales will fund a scholarship for deserving students next year. James Rogers, editor of the annual calendar, said its 12 photographs highlight Fall River’s history and enduring character over the past 100 years. The cover captures a summer day at Sandy Beach, where hundreds of people are shown swimming and enjoying activities along the waterfront. Another photograph looks back at the huge roller coaster that once stood at Sandy Beach. The calendar also captures two dramatically different winters. One photograph shows cars creeping along Main Street during a raging 1967 snowstorm. Another, from December 1968, shows snow-covered Main Street decorations during the Christmas season. Historic Fall River moments fill the calendar Other photographs capture an April walk over the Braga Bridge, old typewriters once used in classrooms, a smiling young girl strolling a baby carriage and two seniors laughingly “hitchhiking” in front of the downtown senior
