Store-Fronts
This section contains information about most of the forty-eight locations marked on Burleigh's map, listed according to his numbering system: churches first, then Caledonia School #5, followed by the town's four railroads, and finally individual businesses. Clicking on a thumbnail will link to a more detailed history of each location. Most of the images are drawn from the Caledonia Advertiser newspaper, emphasizing where possible the emergent discourse of advertising and its iconic branding. Images have been lightly edited primarily for visual clarity; they come to OpenValley via the generosity of Thomas Tryniski's digital archive of scanned newspapers at Old Fulton NY Postcards.
