While searching through our archives yesterday, we discovered this rare photo in a scrapbook belonging to a Waseca woman, Mattie Murphy! Especially timely since it had been at the MN State Fair back in the day. Wouldn’t it be great to find the original color poster? The WCHS archives is a treasure trove!
