These photos are from the collection of Dr. Walter A. Reiter, Jr., M.D., great-great-great-great grandson of Paul Rider, founder of our beautiful boro. Copies of these photos are currently in a local history scrapbook at Newport Public Library. We encourage any and all who are interested in Newport history to stop in and take a look at the scrapbook. If you can identify any people or places that are unknown, or have corrections to the list, please enter your information into the local history scrapbook at the library.
Can't make it to Newport Public Library? No problem! Simply email your comments to the library, and we will include them in the journal for you. You can even email scanned photos for us to include on this site. Stories and anecdotes about Newport history in general are welcomed, too! We will try to publish these anecdotes here on the Web site, and will pass them along to the various Perry County historical organizations.
Feel free to drop in and peruse the local history scrapbook. Our thanks to Dr. Reiter for starting us on this stroll "down Memory Lane." Click here to start your journey!
