Throwback Thursday: Picnic

It’s a Thanksgiving themed #Throwback from Nebraska Memories!

This black and white postcard from the early 1900s shows a large group of men, women and children having a picnic. This image was created by John Nelson and is published by History Nebraska.

History Nebraska digitized content from the John Nelson collection. John Nelson was born in Sweden and came to Nebraska at 17 years old alongside his parents. His photos show small town life in Nebraska during the early 20th century. He shot photographs of local businesses, community activities, and automobiles.

See all the materials in this collection on the Nebraska Memories archive.
