Menasha's Golden Age?

November 26, 1951, Appleton Post-Crescent

We've seen this photo many times over the years, but it does underscore the facts presented in this article.  I have no qualms with calling the 1880's Menasha's Golden Age, though I might also include the following decade as we gained the library and Smith Park during that time.  Also, the high school on Racine Street was built and lasted until the dreadful fire of 1936.
