A Presidential Stop in the Orchard City

Campbell get's a visit from President Theodor Roosevelt in 1903.

This week's history photo shines a little light on an important day for the Orchard City.

In this photo, downtown Campbell is decorated and ready for Theodor Roosevelt's presidential visit, with dozens of people lining either side of the streets. 

There's a banner stretched across the street above reads "Greeting."
