Reedsburg Historical Photo's Now Online - Thanks Paul!

One of Reedsburg's finest, Paul Schonfeld, has recently undertaken the large project of uploading the Library's collection of historical photographs.

Here is a couple of photos that caught my eye right off the bat. The Reedsburg Woolen Mill, now the Wollen Mill Gallery, burning. The fire looks interesting, almost painted on - possibly due to a long exposure time?

And here is the Big Store fire. Gary Cooper, my neighbor, told me that on this night his parents brought him down to watch the fire. Over a police radio, he heard someone in Madison ask what that big glow was coming from our direction.
