| Notes | Written on back of the photograph, "Traveling street...fair, Galesburg, 1901. Gift of Mrs. Joe Indelicato." The upper and lower corners of the photograph are missing. President McKinley was assassinated in 1901 so the tent may have been a traveling exhibit about McKinley and his funeral. |
