The latest project of the Yonkers Historical Society in collaboration with the Blue Door Art Association is an extensive photographic exhibit entitled "Yonkers: Then and Now" that features historic images of old Yonkers juxtaposed with contemporary photographs taken by local Yonkers photographers. To commemorate that exhibit, the YHS has created a poster featuring two panoramic view of the Yonkers waterfront, one taken in 1868 (from the collection of Richard Moore) and one taken in 2005 by Joan Jennings. For information on the poster and how to order one, click here.

The YHS hopes that the photographs from the exhibit will eventually be assembled into a book.
