Work
In this section, we have a variety of photographs that exemplify the different types of work from the early settlement of the community to the present. For example, Perry was settled as a "magic town", when the railroad went through what was then farmland in 1869. Magic towns appeared overnight as the railroad made its way west. The collection of railroad photographs begins with the early steam engines and goes forward. Here also are photographs of farm life from the late nineteenth century to the present-- threshing days, early tractors, and other aspects of farm life are represented. There are pictures of mines and miners, packing plants, merchants, and shopkeepers.
