A collection of family and individual portraits from the 1950s to 1970s taken by long-time Bluffton photographer, Leland Gerber, is on display in the third floor gallery at Mennonite Memorial Home, 410 W. Elm St., Bluffton.

The exhibit is open to the public.. Any photo that someone has a personal connection with can be taken at no cost. The photos will be displayed through Dec. 31 or until they are all taken.
