#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: A Walk Down Main Street via Vintage Postcards

Posted on: October 6, 2022
It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. This month we are taking a walk down Main Street via vintage post cards. The peak of post card popularity was during the first few decades of the 20th century and the historical society has a large collection of Whitewater-related cards.

This view, from about 1910, shows the Walworth Hotel and, in the distance, the Masonic Temple. The houses in between were demolished in the mid-20th century. This card also gives a good view of the type of streetlights that stood in this area of Whitewater during the early 20th century.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
