1. East Main Street Marker
This circa 1910 image shows a tree lined Main Street, interrupted by a lone horse and buggy. The church steeple in the right foreground was on Saint John's Reformed Church. This church and a home were demolished in 1925 to accommodate the building of Saint John's UCC church, located here today, formally dedicated in 1927 as Strunck Memorial Hall.
