The Amherst College landscape has grown and evolved over the years to fit the changing needs of generations of students. Some buildings have succumbed to natural disasters or were outgrown, while others now fill new roles on campus, but many are still the same as they were when these photographs were taken. This exhibition offers a glimpse of the place that was Amherst College in the late 1800's.
