Photo of a Crowd Watching a Parade on a Street in Carthage, Missouri (1870's)


"Public square, north side." Photo of a crowd probably watching a parade go by on a street in Carthage, Missouri, c. 1870s. Tracking down the location of the J. M. Whitsett Dry Goods store was how I was able to identify where this was taken.
