A selection of photos from a collection donated by Riggs Studio to the Barton County Historical Society last month includes images from around the county taken during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s by early Barton County photographers.
Dale and Betty Riggs, owners of Riggs Studio, spent some of their downtime during the statewide pandemic shutdown doing some housecleaning and going through an accumulation of old photos from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. They contacted the Barton County Historical Society, and museum codirectors Karen Neuforth and Leslie Helsell came over to have a look. After confirming the photos’ historical value, they eagerly accepted donation Riggs Studio graciously offered on behalf of the museum.
