Original vintage studio photograph from the long-running Parade of the Hills celebration held annually in Nelsonville, Ohio.

This portrait features the 1963 Parade of the Hills Queen, Judy Poffenbarger, with hometown noted as Athens on the original studio label. The image was professionally produced by Wilson’s Studio, Nelsonville, Ohio, which photographed many Parade of the Hills queens during this era.

A strong mid-century example of local Ohio festival history, combining community tradition, pageantry, and classic studio portraiture. These photographs were typically displayed locally and were not mass-produced, making surviving examples increasingly hard to find.

Unidentified markings beyond what is visible in the photograph have not been added or assumed. You will receive the exact photograph shown.
