Happy Holidays!
Below are a selection of illustrations and advertisements from Scott County newspapers celebrating Christmas 100 years ago in 1920. Scanning through these papers, it is remarkable how little has changed. Christmastime was still heralded as a season for children and family, and jolly images of Santa were out in full force - often coupled with the suggestion that you buy this toy or that appliance.
Enjoy! We at SCHS hope that you have a fantastic holiday!
