I have a question about openstreetmap. Is it possible to go back in time and look at the state of the maps in the past?

I have been doing a lot of mapping in my hometown. It looks much better now compared to 2-3 years ago. I want to do a before-vs-after comparison, but I forgot to take a "before" screenshot. Is this something I can do after the fact? Would it be possible to see what OSM looked like in 2020?

Thanks!
