Title

Winter in Downtown Oskaloosa, Iowa, Early 1900's

Description

This was the how the downtown of Oskaloosa, Iowa appeared in the early 1900's. Brutal winters in Iowa made travel very difficult and almost remote at times, even if it was just to travel to the downtown area to pick up something from a store. Note the horse and buggy pictured at the right hand side of the image and the street lamp posts from the period.

Title

The 1907 Oskaloosa Baseball Team; Class D Iowa League

Description

Pictured here is the 1907 Oskaloosa baseball team from Oskaloosa, Iowa. Based on the excerpt under the photograph of the players, the team was facing a serious financial crisis in 1907, looking at a team debt of $2,800.00. In order to raise funds so that the team could continue playing in the league, a ten day carnival was held to raise money for the team, which turned out to be a great success and allowed the team to participate in the 1907 season. On a separate note, Mattick (middle row, second from right) had a son named Bobby that ended up playing shortstop for the Chicago Cubs in 1938. The other players in the photograph are identified in the excerpt below the picture of the players.

<![CDATA[Billiards Hall, Oskaloosa, Iowa, Circa 1900]]> https://www.iowaheritage.org/items/show/78936

Title

Billiards Hall, Oskaloosa, Iowa, Circa 1900

Description

Billiards was known as a gentleman's game throughout American and European society in the 19th Century, although the game became popular in Great Britain around 1770, eventually making its way to America predominantly in the early 19th Century. As the game became more popular in America in the late 19th Century into the early 20th Century, the game's audience appealed to more social groups, thus attracting crowds that did not necessarily fit the bill of a gentleman. In this photograph stands a man outside a billiards hall in downtown Oskaloosa, Iowa around 1900. To the left and right of the billiards hall sign are goods that would have been available to purchase while a billiards game would be in progress. Instead of focusing on the store, the patrons focused more on the game and products from the store were purchased without much thought as a result of the centerpiece, that which being the billiards table.

Title

City Park Trolley in Downtown Oskaloosa, Iowa in 1907

Description

This image captures Oskaloosa, Iowa at a point before the automobile came full circle to the community and after the horse and buggy started becoming a thing of the past. The trolley served as the halfway point in between these two methods of transportation. Although short lived, the trolley served as an excellent mode of transportation for people not looking to travel far, but looking to get far enough in a hurry for a cheap price. Note in the background of this photograph the famous bandstand in Oskaloosa's town square, as the trolley would pass back and forth through the town square many times over the course of a day during this time period.

Boys Track Event at the Oskaloosa, Iowa Community Stadium in 1926

Title

Archie Wymore in His Brush Runabout in Rose Hill, Iowa, Circa 1910

Description

In this photograph sits long-time Rose Hill, Iowa veterinarian Archie Wymore with his wife and dog in one of the earliest automobiles ever manufactured; the Brush Runabout. Alanson P. Brush established his automobile company in 1907 after designing the first Cadillac. The first Brush Runabout had a single cylinder six horse power motor and was sold for $500.00. The axles of the vehicle were made of wood, showing how primitive the vehicle was. Still, very few in the Mahaska County area could afford a vehicle like this, so posing in the Brush Runabout as Archie Wymore and his family do in this photo, would be a form of showing status at the time.

A 1915 Ford Model T in the New Sharon Flood, circa 1915

Description

This photograph of a 1915 Ford Model T stuck in the middle of a flood in New Sharon, Iowa, depicts how vulnerable people are to the forces of nature. Even with advanced sewage systems and technology today, people just cannot compete with mother nature. Mahaska County has experienced more than its fair share of floods over the decades, thanks to the two rivers that flow through its boundaries: The South Skunk River and the Des Moines River.
