The Pratt Museum collection number is noted on each photo for your reference. You can click on the photos to see larger versions. I am not sure, but it appeared to me as if these photos were taken up on the trail in Nanwalek. I thought the one with the people having picnic looks like Yum-yum. Also, the one with the weir looking thing across the creek looks like as if it was taken from the other side from the trail. There are more photos in this collection, some of which are of school children in Port Graham in the 1930s. The Smiths were schoolteachers there for a while. So I figured maybe this was an outing for them to Nanwalek, they went for hiking perhaps.
