Historical Image of the Day


Poor House/Farm. Huron, South Dakota, 1913.

This image comes from a postcard of the time. Why someone would want a postcard of a poorhouse, I don't know. But there were postcards of basically everything back then, including lynchings. I should investigate this phenomenon further. I will when I have time, i.e., after I die.
