MILFORD — The Columns Museum of the Pike County Historical Society will host an exhibit of Louis Hensel Photographs titled “Reflections of Days Gone By” presented by American Historical Images. The exhibit will be on display from May 8 through July 27. An opening reception for “Reflections of Days Gone By” will be held Friday, May 15 from 6 to 8 p.m., at The Columns, 608 Broad Street, in Milford. There will be no admission fee. “The Museum is quite pleased to be able to bring this exhibit to our membership and guests. Hensel’s work has been of interest to many visitors and researchers over the years and it is good to know the collection is not only safe and sound in the hands of the Hawley Library Association, but also that American Historical Images has worked so diligently to make the collection available for viewing in neighboring communities,” says Lori Strelecki, director of the Columns Museum. Photographer Louis Hensel captured Pennsylvania’s bucolic landscapes and village streetscapes during an era when effects of the Industrial Revolution were just beginning to impact the pristine Northeast region along the Delaware River that borders New York and New Jersey.
