from our collectionThe Great White WayIn this downtown Appleton scene, the AppletonMerchants Association installed arch lightsaround 1905 as a novel way to encourageevening shopping in downtownAppleton. They were replaced withmore conventional, column-type streetlamps in 1911. The arch lights originallyextended from Durkee Street to SuperiorStreet and eventually were extended tothe current Richmond Street.In 1909, the postcard trekked fromAppleton all the way to a woman namedCarrie living in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Itwas sent by a woman named Mary, whoreports that a box shipped by the U.S.Express totaled charges of 60 cents. Mary’snote reveals the box contained patternsshe purchased, perhaps for dressmaking, atCarrie’s request. It seems Appleton has longbeen “Wisconsin’s Shopping Place.”Postcard information from the History Museum atthe Castle.— By Amelia Compton Wolff3 Holiday Art Activity DayJoin us in celebrating holidays around the world w/ornament decorating, card making, a scavenger hunt& more. 11am–2pm.
