Smith Park


This 1928 view of Smith Park shows what eventually would be designated as the Isle of Valor and the Fox River beyond.  Notice the logs piled high, a testament to the city's wood working and paper industries.  At this time, the river was still utilized as a viable means to get raw materials to the factories and mills.
