Object history
Object history note This file containe several reproduced photos (some off of
picture postcards) that depict scenes around Crystal Lake,
including boating, canoeing, and the local bathhouse. The
earliest inscribed photo claims to be from 1890, while
others appear similarly dated, while others are from the
post WWII period. Added are two reproduced photos taken from
the 1916 4th of July depicting women and children swimming
in the lake. Added is an original photo of Crystal Lake from
a private residence, with the no longer there Terrace Theater
in the background. There are also newspaper cutouts mainly from the 1910s as well as a chapter about Crystal Lake Township from a History of Hennepin County.
