Title

200 Block of North Market Street, 1887; Mahaska County, Iowa

Description

This is a view of the 200 block of North Market Street in 1887. Not many business or stores would be found on this block in Oskaloosa in the 19th Century and has continued to stay that way. By and large, the 200 block of North Market Street serves more as a residential area for Oskaloosa, as opposed to a business block.

Title

Benjamin Littler Cabin, Mahaska County, Iowa, mid 19th Century

Description

Much of the livelihood of Mahaska County, and for that matter, Iowa, has depended on farming, and the success each year brings. Pictured here is a small cabin built by and lived in by Benjamin Littler of Mahaska County, Iowa. Most farmers did not have a lot of money, especially during the 19th Century. The work was hard, and the entire family had to act as a cohesive unit in order to have success in the fields. Living was simple, as depicted by the photograph here. Today, the Ben Littler cabin has been moved from its original location to the Nelson Pioneer Farm in Oskaloosa, Iowa
