This program takes you on a journey back in time and around New Albany's historic downtown. Learn about the stories of many of the buildings and businesses that have served the community over the years!

Use the navigation buttons below to view historic photographs and information related to these buildings. Then visit the each location in person to participate in the library's Beanstack challenge, collect buttons, and enter prize drawings!

Parking: Suggested locations for parking include the Pearl Street Parking Lot Ramp or the parking lots along Black Street since they offer easy access to participating businesses.
