The History Museum at the Castle presently has an exhibit of photographs called “Progressive Appleton: Through the Lens of W.D. Schlafer”
An explanation on their website says…
“Through a collection of 3,000 photographs, amateur photographer W.D. Schlafer captured this rapidly changing environment during the Progressive Era in the Fox Cities.”
The progressive era being 1890 thru 1920.
Here is a link to the website for the exhibit…

Hi All,
It’s March and time for spring to make an appearance. To start the season off right we have our March meeting on the 13th at the Town of Menasha Community Center at 7pm.
This month our challenge theme is green. As usual you can email ahead to me at ian.9993@gmail.com, or bring your images to the meeting.
Don Lorenz has agreed to give us presentation on digi-scoping, which is using a digital camera with a telescope for very long distance shooting. Time permitting; we will also have another photographer review from Jim J. as well as all the usual get together benefits of our meetings.
Our annual Salon contest and dinner is coming along. Judging will be on April 21st, that’s a Saturday, and the dinner will be on the 27th, a Friday evening. I will have the menu available at the meeting, but we will have the dinner at Ione’s in the FVTC main building. Judging’s location will be announced then also. Everyone is welcome to attend the judging, and in fact, it is encouraged as it can be very interesting.
Salon info will be updated soon, but the basic info from 2011 will mostly still apply. We haven’t yet chosen a theme. You can view the PDF’s by following the links on the club web site, http://foxvalleycameraclub.org/ under “pages” at the top of the right hand column you find “Annual Salon Info.”
We also have a few notices and a request this month. Kathy Somers has passed on a request from Appleton West HS. They currently have 53 students on photography classes and only just over a dozen cameras. If you have working film SLRs that you are no longer using, their donation would be greatly appreciated.
WACCO’s presentation by Moose Peterson is March 10th (this Saturday) from 9-4 at the Midway Hotel in Brookfield . This is a 100 S Moreland Rd , just at the Moreland exit of I-94. Moose will be presenting on his nature photography, and perhaps some of his work at EAA’s fly-in. Pricing is $125 for the day, including lunch.
