Description

This picture is a color slide of the 1963 Daniel Boone Wagon train traveling through King Street. There is one person walking on the sidewalk near the Mayflower Beauty Shoppe and a crowd of people on the other side of the sidewalk near the St. Luke's Episcopal church. On the road, there are around six older cars that seem to have been freshly polished. Behind the cars, there is a red truck carrying a steam tractor. The engine is running, as evidenced by the cloud of smoke billowing from the back of the truck. There is an advertisement for an auction on July 6th attached to a telephone pole.
