Christmas on Main Street in Shawano – Yesterday and Today
Christmas will be here in less than a week so we’re wishing all our members and supporters a very merry Christmas and leave you with these photos, which we post every Christmas.
The first photo was taken in the late 1940’s looking south at the intersection of Green Bay and Main Streets. The second photo was taken in the same spot on December 19, 2024.
In the first photo, Christmas decorations are strung above street and the photo is so clear, you can see all the way down the block. Identified businesses – Murdock Hotel, Schauder’s Shoes, Elite Beauty Salon, Gallagher Drug store, Chaimson’s, and the Farmer’s Hardware.
We love Shawano’s historic downtown…notice, most of our historic buildings are in both photos.
