JUDY BOLTON GRADUATION PHOTOS

Judy Bolton HIGH SCHOOL Graduation Photos

These photographs sit atop a piano in an old farmhouse in Potter County PA near Coudersport, the real location of 'Farringdon' in the Judy Bolton Mystery series books. They are from the early 1940s and highly resemble what the main characters in the books would have looked like in that era - Judy Bolton, the main character, of course, her brother Horace, Arthur Farringdon-Pett, and Peter Dobbs, the fellow Judy eventually marries.

Judy Bolton fans visit this house every year on Judy Bolton Day weekend and marvel over these likenesses, who are family members of those who live in the house. The house itself also has a real Judy Bolton association: the father of Margaret Sutton, author of the Judy Bolton books, helped to build the house and also built some of the furniture still used in the house.

Judy, Horace, Arthur, and Peter!
