A parade in Owensville most likely took place in 1911 on the south end of Main Street near where the Catholic church now stands. Owensville was built in the middle of a prairie, and remnants of prairie grasses and forbes could be seen there. A large red round building at the far left was the old college, which stood where the Baptist church now stands and was torn down around 1920. The college offered a two-year degree after eighth grade, at a time when there was no high school. The gray home next to the college still stands, and the two officials on horseback near the end of the parade are unidentified.
