You likely won’t find that car parked in front of this building anymore on this .

This building used to house Jacqueline Shop, a high-label women’s fashion store. Staying true to its roots, it now houses The Prom Shoppe and Bella-gia Boutique, selling beautiful prom and homecoming dresses and trendy contemporary women’s clothing.

You can even catch girls dancing in holiday gowns in the windows during Oswego’s annual Christmas Walk.

Can you guess where this building is? If you guessed on the northwest corner of Main and Washington Streets — you’d be correct! In 1916 this building housed Shultz Bros & Co. Groceries. 105 years later in 2021, this building houses The Marmalade Tree and Main Street Barber.

Happy ! This cute little stone building has since expanded and houses Fox River Academy of Music and Art, Inc. , Schoppe Design Associates, and professional offices. Pictured here in 1922, you can see the same three front windows on the right side.

Hey, we recognize this church!

Built in 1896 on the corner of Madison St. and Washington St., this church was first used for worship services by members of the German Evangelical Association. Now known as the Church of the Good Shepard United Methodist, it has expanded to fit its growing congregation and each year welcomes in the community for chili and nativity displays during Oswego’s annual Christmas Walk.

Here’s your inspiration to start that book you’ve been wanting to read! On this , we bring you a photo of the Oswego Public Library District opening in 1964. Since then, the library has been through a renovation and expansion to help support Oswego’s growing population.

Join the library tomorrow for their blood drive from 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Visit their website to find information on fun activities they have throughout the month. 📚

Have you ever been on a walk on the Fox River Trail and noticed this old railway bridge?

Turns out, it’s been here for a while! Pictured here in 1935, not much has changed about the bridge, except maybe the trees have gotten taller!

Do you recognize this small dirt road?

Believe it or not, it’s U.S. Route 34 back in 1912. Now four lanes wide and full of stores and restaurants, U.S. Route 34 is a true testament to how much can change in a century. Support Oswego’s local businesses through Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce and participate in their Fraidy Cat 5k, Ghost Run 8k, and Meow Mile on October 24th.

Happy !

Given that the intersection of Wolfs Crossing and U.S. Route 30 is on the edge of suburban and rural Oswego, it’s no surprise that in 1911 there were teams of horses plowing the fields. 🐴 Now, there are tractors that do all the heavy lifting! Swipe to see the photos of then and now.
