Highlights of Dillon's 25 Years of Fire and Change
A retrospective of Dillon history recounts fires that destroyed the Meat Market in February and Wisdom in May, a 75,000 dollar flour mill loss in 1926, crowding growth at the college, and notable visits by Will Rogers and Lindbergh. It covers town improvements, road and bridge openings, dam breaks at Wise River, aircraft progress, and varied local milestones through the early 1930s.
