1921
Main Street, Haynesville
Main street Haynesville during the oil boom about 1921. The crowd gathered on the left were most likely bidding on leases. One lone woman can be seen walking down the right side of the street. The horse and buggy had not been totally replaced by the automobile. In the years that followed, the money made during the oil boom would pave the streets.
