Scene at the Horeb Mineral Spring
| Text on front reads: "Scene at the Horeb Mineral Spring, Waukesha, Wis." A large mineral spring-fed pond in a parklike setting, with many trees. The pond is perfectly calm, reflecting the trees, as waterfowl swim about. Two children are near a bridge on the opposite shoreline. A building is in the background behind trees. Between 1868 and 1918, 60 mineral springs were located here. People would travel here to "enjoy the waters." |
