Fennville Main Street and other views
Photograph
BW photo of Main Street in Fennville with a long line of covered wagons waiting in line to unload at the train station. In the foreground, a man in working clothes, possibly a fruit farmer, is standing on the bed of his wagon and driving his team of horses away from the station. The street is unpaved but a silhouetted pedestrian is standing on a cement sidewalk. Signs on businesses read "Fennville House", "Bakery Restaurant" and "The Post's General Dealers in Dry Goods." This image was featured as History Mystery #10 with the solution: Downtown Fennville about 1910.
