Did you know Depot Park gets its name from the Old Gainesville Depot? Today the Gainesville Depot is on the National Register of Historic Places and represents an important piece of the Railroad's legacy on the city! (Images from Florida Memory and the City of Gainesville)

Check out this Fan I found in the @MathesonMuseum archives today! I’m surprised an Paulk Motor Co. didn’t use cars or something similar for the imagery. It’s interesting to see how long promotional items have been a part of business models.

Did you know the Alachua County Abstract Company operated in Gainesville from the 1880s. It moved buildings several times But they still had time to send Christmas Cards full of business related puns! Card from the Abstract Company files @MathesonMuseum.
