As you view these images we will
really appreciate it if you'd share
any information or memories
you might have of the subjects
appearing in the photographs.
Plans are to publish a book of
images along with as much
information as we can acquire.

Thank you for your help

Additional images will be added as they become available to us. FOSH is always looking for images of the Village and Town of Scandinavia for their files. Images don't necessarly have to be a hundred years old to be of historical value. Remember, today is tomorrow's history. All photos will be scanned into the computer and the originals will be returned unharmed. If you have photographs, or other items of historical interest, please contact Doug Watson at: scandinavia@tds.net or call: (715) 467-2729
