How State Street Used To Look (maybe)

 This is a composite of many photos we have access to.  Tudy Barentsen Standlee has done the research.  If anyone can add a comment or two, we would really appreciate it.  Location is Mt. Pleasant State Street, west side, between main and 1st south.

Ole Hansen and Barton Brothers Creamery on State Street

In the early 1900s this building was a creamery owned and operated by  Ole Hansen and the Barton Brothers.  It was organized in 1892.  The creamery was the first in Mt. Pleasant and third in the territory.  After the death of Mr. Hansen, it was turned into the Overland Hotel.  It was located at approximately 80 South State Street.
