TIME TRAVEL TUESDAY:
With the colder weather lately, consider this our little gift to you, a true Oak Harbor snow day from the past.
.
This snowy scene captures downtown Oak Harbor sometime before 1920, before a giant fire claimed most of the town pictured. At that time, the water reached all the way up to the storefronts, and the Byrne Wharf served as the primary hub for shipping.
.
Today, the downtown landscape looks completely different, transformed into the city we know now. One thing remains the same, though: the tall oak tree on the right side of the photo still stands strong more than a century later.
