The photograph was made about 1920 in Fairfield County, Connecticut. I would like to have comments about the picture and its possible origin. I found it with my family photographs, without any identification as to the name of the group. It does not seem to be a picnic as there is no food shown. People of all ages shown. Brownie held camera shown in right front row. Men generally have shirts and ties. Church group? Maybe. - Robert Edward McKenna
