Photo Exhibit on Display
Stop by the office to see a collection of photos donated to the HCA.
Vassil Zaharik was a resident of Heritage for nearly 80 years. He was the proud owner of a corner grocery store and was fascinated by life in this area, known during this time as 'Germantown'. Thanks to his skills as a photographer, he was able to capture a snapshot of life in Heritage throughout the 50s-70s.
These lovely photos have been donated by long-time friend Danny Kresnyak. They're now on display in our office as an excellent reminder of much our area has changed over the years.
We highly encourage everyone to stop by and see them! Bring your own photographs and stories to share with us.
