AMHERST, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - More than a century of Amherst history captured on camera is now on display at the towns historic center.

The exhibit, called Amherst Then & Now: A Pictorial Retrospective of 125 Years of Memory Keeping officially opened Tuesday.

In collaboration with the historical society, students at Amherst Regional High School were given these historic images, the “then”, and gave them a modern twist creating the “now.”
