Hog Day in Mansfield

Hog Day in Mansfield

Photo taken on a snowy January day looking southeast across North Park Street to the Richland County Courthouse. The photo, which was probably taken from the second floor of a building near the corner of North Park and North Main Street, looks down on a street clogged with wagons and sleighs. Some of the wagons/sleighs are loaded with butchered livestock for market. The animals rest on their backs with feet sticking into the air. Groups of farmers stand on the snow covered street.
