Description
An account of the resource
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.

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.

Pictured here are boys participating in a track event at the Oskaloosa Community Stadium in 1926. The ground for the stadium was originally broke in 1925, and the stadium was completely finished in 1929, although meets like this were able to be conducted there even in 1926. The stadium served and continues to serve today the football and track teams of Oskaloosa High School and William Penn University.

An account of the resource
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.

An account of the resource
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.

An account of the resource
This 1900 photograph taken of Oskaloosa, Iowa's famous town square and Mahaska County Courthouse from 1st Avenue East captures the organization and layout of Midwest towns of the period. Space was set aside at the town square so that horses and buggies could be parked accordingly. The courthouse was situated right in the middle of the town, as Oskaloosa served as and continues to serve as the county seat of Mahaska County. Finally, the town square was ample enough in size to accommodate those visiting or residents looking for entertainment, as the town square provided music and festivities all year long.

An account of the resource
The concept of small business was very prevalent throughout Oskaloosa, Iowa, at the turn of the 20th Century. In this photograph, staff from a chocolate store in town posed for the camera. What stands out significantly in the photograph is the amount of diversity captured in a single image. From white men, to women, to African-American men, all groups were given the chance to work in Oskaloosa and gained respect for their service to the community.

This image captures children riding their bikes through the downtown square in Oskaloosa, Iowa, around 1915. The streets have brick pavement in this photograph, but there are no automobiles present, illustrating the fact that few residents in Oskaloosa, Iowa owned automobiles yet. In all truth, the bicycle was still an object of awe at this point, which is why many of the people in the photo look captivated by all the bicyclists.

An account of the resource
This is a photograph of gentleman enjoying a drink after playing eighteen holes of golf at the Elmhurst Country Club in Oskaloosa, Iowa. The course and country club opened in 1928 and was in business until 2008, when it closed its doors, but was reopened again as Oskaloosa Golf that same year. Seated in the middle of the picture is C.L. Barnhouse, founder and owner of the largest music publishing company in the United States. Barnhouse died in 1929 at the age of 64, so this is one of the final pictures taken of him alive. Also included in the picture standing (left to right) are Perry and Paul Mathews and sitting are Sander McGregor and John Sunstrum.

This was one of the last photographs taken of Barnhouse, as he passed away in 1929 at the age of 64. Others joining Barnhouse in the picture are: Sandy McGregor and John Sunstrum who are sitting and Perry and Paul Mathews who are standing.
