Labor Day Festivities

September 1, 1906, Menasha Record

Aside from a few typos, the meaning comes through.  This was the weekend the Nicolet Monument was dedicated in the midst of a statewide archaeological convention held in Menasha.  The monument is portrayed below in the postcard.  Since that date though, the monument has been renovated at some point to eliminate the part about the savages and reduced the number of steps up to the rock from six to four.

After the convention, a congratulatory letter was published in the Record, praising the Menasha women for their wonderful presentation of the monument.
