Centennial Memories

June 30, 1976, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

Back in 1976 when the bicentennial celebration was in the offing for America, the Twin Cities looked back at the 100th anniversary of the nation's independence in 1876 and how that was commemorated in Menasha and Neenah.  It is interesting to note that Doty Island was the scene of the celebration; perhaps it was a compromise to involve both cities at the same time.
