Title

Congregational Church in Beacon, Iowa, Circa 1900

Description

Religion has always played a very important role in Mahaska County, Iowa. One of the credits to the county has been its people's tolerance for others to worship freely without fear. Pictured here is the Congregational Church in Beacon, Iowa, around 1900. Beacon, once known as the town of Enterprise, did not fully switch its name over until 1874. Beacon's success revolved around its coal mining connection and proximity to the railroad lines. Before Oskaloosa established a railroad line through its community, many goods came via railway to Beacon, allowing it to grow and become a thriving community, even more so than Oskaloosa.

Title

Oskaloosa Drug Company, Circa 1895; Iowa

Description

Pictured here is the Oskaloosa Drug Company with its staff standing outside of the building around 1895. Pharmacies in the 19th Century did not solely sell drugs to patrons, but carried other marketable goods as well in order to pick up a shortfall if people were not buying medicine from the store. This particular store offers paint and other products to potential patrons. Because of this, the concept of the soda pop fountain stemmed from the drug business.
