Time Travel: All Saints Church Event from 1965 and a Visit to Old Watt Powell Park in Charleston
By Dick Duez on January 19, 2020 from History Blog
The photo shows above is at All Saints Catholic Church, which is located on Main Street in downtown Bridgeport. The photo is from 1965 and the event that is taking place is unknown, as are the individuals shown. If anyone has any information on the photo or those pictured, please include it in the comment section below..jpg)
This stadium was once a hot bed for baseball activity in the state of West Virginia, but no longer stands. At the time, as the sign shows, the stadium in Charleston was home to the Charleston Charlies minor league baseball team. Many from the state and beyond saw the Charlies and other contests at the field.
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection. Duez, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dick.do@citynet.net.
