Notes from the Webmaster:
These historical postcard images were "clipped" from among hundreds of digital photographs posted by sellers of Rock County, Wisconsin postcards offered on the eBay auction site on a single day (23 Dec 2005). Each descriptive captions is taken from the postcard itself. Dates are actual if known. Dates shown as "circa" (or "about") reflect postal stamp date of an otherwise undated postcard. Postcards with no indication of date are described as "undated". These images are all believed to be non-copyrighted public domain pictures, and they are captured in JPEG (.jpg) file format.

To search this page for an individual postcard image, go to the EDIT menu of your browser and select FIND. Type the key word(s) of the location you seek (e.g., "monterey bridge" or "methodist church") and click NEXT to go to the first matching caption.
