Between August 2001 and July 2002 a committee of eleven people in the
Village of Chipman accomplished an amazing feat. The group had a common
interest in
preserving the past and understanding the present. During that
eleven month period they did research, collected old photos and
personal stories about the past as well as doing interviews, collecting
information, and taking pictures of the present. The result of
their hard work was a book called “
CHIPMAN
THEN AND NOW--A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CHIPMAN AND NEIGHBORING
COMMUNITIES”. The two hundred page book is filled with
information on
lumbering, mining, agriculture, brick-making, boats, railroads,
bridges, trucking,
government, veterans, Royal Canadian Legion, homes, churches, schools,
public
buildings, medical history, recreation and special events as well as
nearly
six hundred black and white photos portraying the Chipman area.
