June 17 and 18, 1919 in Menasha. This photo depicts a homecoming parade honoring the returning soldiers and sailors from World War I. The Women's Catholic Order of Foresters march in front of the Orpheum Theater. The Orpheum was at 159 Main Street, later home of the Valley Theater. After that was torn down, the new First National Bank built in 1965 resided in the spot.
