While the town and its academy and college date back to the 1850s, here in the 1920s it's a boomtown, with lots of new construction going on, including many grand houses. The railroad makes it convenient to live in the country and work in the city. The charming Market Square downtown district was built in 1916, and a Marshall Field branch store opened in May 1928. Sadly I hear it's no longer there. But here in the 1920s, maybe I'll pay it a visit and let you know what I find! Thank you for visiting, Cathy.
