This photograph is from the Scholl glass plate negative collection of images from 1895-1910. Probably taken around 1900, this view of a back yard (possibly on Center Street) shows a woman looking out her screen door at her extensive garden. Many town dwellers cultivated large gardens of vegetables and/or flowers. Note also how the lawn was not as “manicured” as most town lawns are today.
Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
