Focal Point | Out for a stroll in Watsonville

Unidentified strollers in Watsonville Plaza around the turn of the century. “Every Wednesday evening during the summer Mother would take my three older sisters and me to the plaza, where we strolled up and down the geranium-bordered walks and listened to the popular tunes of the day and greeted our neighbors as we passed them,” said Florence Chapman Lehman, reminiscing in 1984 about growing up in Watsonville in 1900.
