Throwback Thursday: Parade
Happy #ThrowbackThursday from Nebraska Memories!
This week, we have a black and white photograph of cars lined up for a parade during the early 1900’s.
This image was captured by John Nelson. John Nelson was born in 1864 in Harestad, Sweden. He came to Nebraska with his parents when he was 17 years old. His photographs show life in small town Nebraska during the first decades of the 20th century. They include subjects such as automobiles, local businesses, and community activities. This photograph is provided and owned by History Nebraska.
