When and What: This is still in the very early years of the 1900s. All the land along the Great White Way was agricultural. Here you can see the farmers have cut and shocked their corn so that it can dry, the ears then be removed and husked. Everyone raised on farms in the midwest should appreciate how much work these farmers did just to survive. Also notice the built up crossing over the rails for man and beast on the right side, and the hanging electric lights that gave the Great White Way it's name. The card says "Among the corn fields on Minneapolis Lake Minnetonka Electric Line Twin City Lines". |

Picturing Lake Minnetonka
A Post Card History by James W. Ogland and published by the
Minnesota Historical Society. Graphics of far greater quality and variety
than anything you'll find on the net, unless of course you visit the Minnesota
Historical Society. The book is filled with fascinating historical information
about the Lake Minnetonka area. A great gift for anyone who lives near the
"Great Waters" or once did. It is also a great way to support your
historical society and works of local historical importance. I know this sounds like an advertisement but I'm not affiliated in any way to anyone involved with "Picturing Lake Minnetonka". I love history, and believe it's important. If you like what I have on this site you'll probably want this book. |
