These are the last three photographs of a collection from Worthington Minnesota. I remember that the other photographs showed street scenes in Worthington. The group of photos appears to date from the late 1890s. Key search terms: Taken/Studio/Manufacture: Buchan A photo of Okabena Lake by Buchan. The photo appears to have a steam ship on the lake. The photo has a lot of "dirt" on the print. Some one has written on the bottom of the photo in red ink "Lake Okabena 1900". On the back some one wrote "Okabena Lake 1900" in blue ink. There is another photo (2008.003.0003.PC) of the same print that some one wrote "1896" on. This photograph was used in the 1901 booklet A Souvenir, Picturesque Worthington.
