About this photograph
People gathered beneath trees for a Hawley family picnic on August 25, 1906, at the Patterson house in Ardenwood, Fremont, California. The archive record does not identify the photographer.
The catalogue's title date of September 15, 1906 conflicts with the caption's August 25 date, and the year field is marked with uncertainty. No context is available for the Hawley family, the Patterson house, or Ardenwood beyond what the record itself provides.
This photograph reached the Internet Archive through California Revealed, a statewide programme that digitises holdings from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies for public access. Material tagged with this source comes from many separate local institutions across the state, so the tag indicates where the photograph was digitised rather than where it was taken.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
