#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: Six-horse Hitch

It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. This week we feature a great photo of a six-horse hitch pulling a wagon on Whitewater Street. The ability to handle a team of six horses was a skill any farmer or drayman would be proud of and was probably not a common sight, hence someone taking this photo. The photo dates from between 1900, when city hall (in the background) was completed and around 1917, when brick pavement replaced the dirt street shown in the photo.

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