Sanborn Maps
The town I selected was Wilmot, SD and the map I selected was dated March 1927. On Main Street, there was a building called the Opera House. When I was growing up, it was called Osterloh's, and it is now occupied by Anderson's Restorations. There is some history to this building, as Wilmot was going to be the County Seat. People from Sisseton came and took the records by force because they wanted Sisseton to be the County Seat.
Wow! Interesting information about Wilmot! It can be really interesting to review the old maps and compare today's buildings. Thanks for the post! Julie
