It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.

On Sunday, July 21, 1974, exactly 50 years ago this coming Sunday, the Whitewater Historical Society celebrated opening its museum of local history at the historic Whitewater Passenger Depot. This image shows the visitors waiting for the festivities to begin. It was a crowning achievement for the historical society, founded in 1947, to finally have a place to showcase its collection of Whitewater-related artifacts.

The museum is still in operation 50 years later and we hope you join us sometime on Tuesdays (4-7) or Saturdays (9-12) to see our special 50 years exhibit and our fine permanent gallery of Whitewater history!

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