Object Description
A photograph of two people posing in front of Tom Sawyer's Fence, with a sailor-dressed person, wearing a white blouse, red scarf, navy blue skirt, and red headband with matching red scarf. They can be seen touching the marker on the right and a person in a blue polo and black colored pants resting their hand on the sign on the left. The sign reads "Tom Sawyer's Fence. Here stood the broad fence which Tom Sawyer persuaded his gang to pay him for the privilege of whitewashing. Tom sat by and saw that it was well done." The background shows the house with a window and door, and to the right is the white chip-painted fence.
