As I examined each page, the year 1956, the 75th anniversary of Rogers, stood out as very interesting. Here are some glimpses of life in Rogers from that year with excerpts from the Diamond Jubilee special edition of the Rogers Daily News:

As you drive up South Second Street in downtown Rogers -- rerouted, perhaps, by road work -- look to your left in the 300 block and imagine the bustle of back-to-school preparations in the turn-of-the-20th-century brick Hawkins House.
