Straight ahead on the Fourth of
July

Today, Fourth of July parades turn at
Columbia Road to proceed to the City Park, but they used
to continue to Spring Street and across Hilbert Street
to get there. When this parade passed by, Gerrit's
Drug Store, now Cedarburg Woolen Mill and Shops, was
still in operation. The Cedarburg State Bank still
occupied the building now housing the Koehler Insurance
Agency. There were no traffic lights and parking
was permitted in front of the Washington House building
and in front of the Gerrit's building.
