What does this picture tell us of a day in the history of South Lyon? I mean I know that it is 1908-1909 by the fact that the place being built is the witch's hat depot. But what else could this old picture tell us? I mean who are the men that are building it and why did they want to build that kind of depot? Did they know that one year, 100 years from the day that they stood in that spot taking that picture, there project would be South Lyon's "Trademark Landmark"? These are the questions that history poses to us. This is what a historian wants to do, find as many answers as possible to those questions. Try being the historian and tell me what you think the answers to those questions are.
