Postcards of Oshkosh

Remember the Hotel Athearn?  The fountain in Riverside Cemetery?  Relive memories of Oshkosh through these postcards.  This collection consists of views of businesses, churches, parks, city streets, country roads and other structures throughout the city of Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  According to postcard dealers, these small town views are highly sought after cards.  Dating of the cards for year or era was determined by postmarks and identifiying certain features present on the postcard.  Example:  there are no lions on the library postcard, thus the card would be dated before 1912. 

Additional postcards can be found in the Main Street, Oshkosh Wisconsin collection.
