New Additions and updates as of August 4, 2025

Found a few new cards that have been added to the collection and dusted off a couple of old ones.

This week I started by scanning and entering a few cards that I had on my desk. As I was working on that, I noticed that there were a few cards that were scanned a while ago, but not added to the Golf Course page. Since I was working on those cards, I took the time to create the single card pages for all of the cards that I did not get to earlier. So now all of the cards on the Golf Course page have the large images available. 

Here is a view of Mitchell’s Glen, looking east towards the cliff showing the original spring.  I acquired this card from a lady in Oshkosh whose family visited Green Lake quite frequently as a child.

 I also received a another card from this series showing the North Wall of the glen.  I already had a copy of this card up. When I looked at it this time I noticed the graffiti carved on the walls. I wonder if you can still see the graffiti today.

The next new card that I found is a view of the dormitory at the Girls’ Friendly Holiday House, on Spring Grove Road. We have quite a few views of this group camp. I found this card on eBay.

Here is a older view of the Hotel at the Lawsonia Country club from Lawson Drive across Pigeon Cove.  I added this to the Lake Views group since I have not finished the Lawsonia/GLCC page yet. I found this card on eBay.

This view of the late summer sunset over Camp Grow caught my eye when I spotted it.  I normally do not collect the modern Photochrome cards, but we did not have any views of Camp Grow.  This view looking Northwest over the swimming area and bathhouse is really interesting. If I would have to guess, this is probably the late 1970’s. This card has been placed with the Tichora Boy Scout Camp cards on the Campgrounds & Group Camps Page.  I found this card on eBay.

As I was working on adding the cards above, I came across some cards that I have had in the collection but were not added to the Golf Course page.  I have added these cards to the page now. I wonder how many other cards I have missed?

As I was working on updating the Golf Course page, I noticed that I did not create the pages for  individual cards. Now that is done, you can click on any image and see the full size card image.
