When we were cleaning out my parents house I inherited a ton of old family photos and other old stuff. Since I have no kids I really wanted my cousins with kids to have a lot of it. One old quilt was made by my great grandmother for her mother. She had a letter to her mother in there as well. The glove that a different great grandmother wore on her wedding day was another neat thing.
There are many boxes of old photos.
This is one of my great grandfathers.
This is about my great great grandfather.

This is my fraternal grandmother. She is the girl in standing in the center with the spotted dress.
I have photos from when my mom's parents were "Courting" and photos from their honeymoon trip.
I have it all scanned and on my family tree on Ancestry.com. Now I am still trying to find relatives to take the photos and save them for the future generations.
That is one of the sad things of today's digital photos. We all take a ton more photos now but virtually none of them will be around in 100 years for great grand kids to look at.
