#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: Downtown across the lake, circa 1960’s


It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. We have a tradition of posting winter-related photos in January and here is the first of four featuring the downtown. This image is from a post card, probably from the 1960s before the old city hall was torn down. It is a popular view from across Cravath Lake, possibly taken from Hillside Cemetery. The bare branches make for a very artistic winter view.

Join us next week for another vintage winter scene of downtown Whitewater.
