It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.
On July 4 the Whitewater Fire Department had a ceremonial “push-in” for a new fire truck, a tradition that dates to the 19th century when horse-drawn equipment needed to be literally pushed into the fire house. Here is a photo of Whitewater’s 19th century horse-drawn hose cart that needed a real “push-in.” The photo is from the 1920s when the Whitewater Fire Department was posing with its mechanized trucks alongside this old equipment.
Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
