The exhibit includes more than three dozen original works. A special section of the exhibit showcases “Ho-Ho-Kus: Then and Now,” in which Steccato presents a dozen historical views of the community alongside photographs taken from the same vantage point today. Many of these photographs depict architectural features that are normally out of sight to passersby and may surprise exhibit visitors.
