About this photograph

The photograph shows children gathered at Ardenwood during what the archive catalogues as a possible July 4th celebration in 1899. The Hawley family organised the event at this location.

The archive does not identify the photographer. The question mark in the date field indicates uncertainty about whether July 4th is correct, though the year appears more firmly established.

Ardenwood served as the setting for this family gathering, though the record provides no details about the property itself or the Hawley family's connection to it.

The photograph reached the Internet Archive through California Revealed, a statewide digitisation programme that makes holdings from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly accessible online.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
