Rock County Historical Society — Local services in Janesville

The gowns were from the 1800's and early 1900's and some had wedding pictures too. The other building had guns that showed the evolutionary advances over the years. Paper cartridges, never heard of that? There was even a copy of the weapon the killed President Lincoln. There was also displays from Parker pen, a china collection and a downstairs display of the Janesville GM Plant history complete with pictures and the 100 millionth car (a 67 Impala) also an older cool? 1927 Chevy! There are other events though the year and the Christmas tree display with 150 trees...
