The above "real photo" postcard dates from about one hundred years ago. While Waverly is billed as a "bathing beach," as so often occurs in beach photos of this era, there is very little bathing and more just lounging or milling around in street clothes. Of course, this being Wisconsin, who knows the type of weather occurring when this shot was taken! Still, it provides a view of a time when amusements and social mores were modest in more ways than one.
My question is there is a large sand dune behind the building on this picture. I have never seen a sandy beach or dune anywhere in Menasha. Where was this pic taken?
