VINTAGE SHAWANO COUNTY


Dave Maas sent these copies of  "vintage Shawano County" in to us from old calendars he has collected.  We love old photos and hope you enjoy them as much as we have!  Since these are large graphic files, this page might take a while to download.  There are early photos of areas just outside of the county that we thought you might enjoy browsing as well.
