It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. In memory of the fire that destroyed most of Old Main on the UW-Whitewater campus 52 years ago, February’s posts will represent the growth of Old Main over four periods.
This view is of the original building opened for what was then the Whitewater Normal School in the fall of 1868. It was one of nine state-authorized normal schools founded in Wisconsin. It remained within the large complex Old Main became just prior to the fire of February 7, 1970.
Join us again for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
