A newspaper article titled “Mishicot Shows Little Change.” The article includes two comparison photos of Main Street, looking west.

Article text:

Main Street in Mishicot, looking west, hasn’t changed much from the early 1900‘s (top photo) to today (photo above). The three buildings on the left in each photograph remain standing today, as do the two buildings on the right. Frank and Rose’s Century Inn, center right, was formerly the village’s opera house.
