About this footage
Most of this set was filmed inside one family's house in Lynbrook, and Christmas gets the most film. Kids in pajamas pose by a tinsel-covered tree, two boys wear oversized toy helmets, a toddler rides a wooden rocking horse, and a Mouse Trap board game sends its ball down the chute. A father in a plaid robe opens gifts on a striped couch, and children climb the stairs to bed past hanging stockings. In summer the family moves to a backyard pool with a green diving board.
A second thread is travel. One reel lists New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, and the autumn clips fit that trip: hillsides of red and orange trees, a lake with a cabin and dock, a waterfall in thick woods, and a nearly full moon over the treeline. Niagara Falls appears close up, and at a zoo a bear plays with a metal bucket in the water.
Suitable for scenes of a 1971 suburban Christmas or New England fall foliage drives.
