WE NEED YOUR HELP...Historical Society gets serious in a search for pictures of CLIVE.


Clive Depot
This is the earliest picture we have.
Depot built in 1882

How it looks today in it's current location
in Swanson Park

 Milwaukee Railroad.  Notice the changes in siding - Clive Depot 



Post Cards of Clive Depot in various stages of usage.  At the time of the lower photo, it was no longer a depot but a storage facility.

 

 

The Historical Society is proposing to put together an Images of America "Clive" publication to be published by ARCADIA Publishing.  Their books are 128 pages of pictures and text.  This would be the first such book telling Clive's History and we feel it is greatly needed.  The time frame is from earliest of Clive's days to the present. 
EVERY ONE who lives in Clive ... has pictures.  AND some need to be taken of things of interest.
This is not just about CHS ... it's about Clive!!!

We NEED desperately your pictures.
Businesses, government, homes, families,
activities, parties, parks, churches, etc.
If it was part of the community of Clive then it
could be considered usable.  It must be identified
and an explanation of the picture must accompany it along
with name, address, phone number and optional e-mail of the
person submitting or donating the picture.

PLEASE help make this a very nice pictorial view of Clive.
Not just for us, but future generations.    

We will do the very best we can to get the originals back to you. 
If you have negatives, we will develop those we can use.
 


 If you would like to work with us on this project please contact
Linda Shanks.

This is a community project.  It is for those who ask questions.
What questions would you like this book to answer?
