With this 75th Anniversary edition, we have tried to recount the history of Hampton Union , and to recap some of the highlights of the area's history. In addition, we have attempted to compile a record, in photographs, of the way the towns we serve look in 1975.

In addition, we have recorded some of the restoration projects recently completed or underway.

The staff of Hampton Union had an enjoyable time completing this anniversary offering, and we hope that our readers will enjoy the results.

We also hope that some people will store this record of our towns away for the future. Creating something that our readers will want to hold on to was one of our goals in attempting this edition.
