Beginning in 1893 and continuing for more than thirty years, Anton Olson laid sidewalks all over Westby putting his name on each section with a fancy engraving stamp. Until very recently many of these sidewalks were still being used around the city. Until recently there were two of his sidewalks on Park Street and there should be more of his sidewalks in the older sections Westby.
Attention all Westby walkers. As you walk around Westby make it your excuse for getting up at dawn to see if you can find some Anton Olson Sidewalks.
