Artifact in Mr Jahn's yard
Grinding Stone
Do you know what this is?
My guess is a grain grinding stone
possibly to make flour?

Cement Bridge
The Village is known for it's Bridges.

Roche Percee Recreation Area
Couple nice old coal Cars on display
For a small village, they do a great job
on maintaining their parks,
and catering to the tourists.

Roche Percee Hotel July 15, 1910
My Dad was born in a shack,
 next to this hotel
Julius, Leander and Jens Langen
 bought the Riverside Hotel In Roche Percee
around 1925, and I believe this is the hotel
I am not sure the source of this photo.
I hope it is not a problem using it here.

 lived at this location

Buggy Town
Roche Percee
A Picnic Celebration day, date unknown
probably early 1900's,
Picture from Marie Beaulieu's collection, with thanks
From Marie "My grandmother (Mary, wife of Ole Langen)
 indicated her buggy as the one closest to photographer"
Marie was kind enough to mail me large copies
of this picture, and it is amazing.
When I get a minute, I will scan this and add it here.
I don't see a union jack flag in the photo
so don't think it was July 1st celebration.
Center of attention is the tent near the train station
which is shown on the right.
Large 3 story building in center with the 3 dormers
was the Riverside Hotel
owned by Julius, Leander, and Jens Langen until 1931.
Bought when Julius returned from WWI
