Everyone is in town @ Bristow, NE c1908




This photo postcard shows a view captioned: "A Gala Day, Bristow, Nebraska". The image shows all kinds of people gathered on the dirt Main Street of the small town, possibly on the 4th of July around 1908. There are all kinds of horse drawn buggies and wagons present. The Bristow Band can also be seen entertaining the crowds. From the looks of things, I would say that no one was going to miss the big celebration. The photograph is attributed to Gustav Olson of Plattsmouth, NE.

Bristow is located in North Central Nebraska, just South of the South Dakota / Nebraska State Line in Boyd County. Other communities is Boyd County are: Anoka Bristow Butte Gross Lynch Monowi Naper Spencer .
