Some historic photos

If you think that Ricketts is a small town NOW, just take a look at what Main Street ORIGINALLY looked like, facing South.

Here's Hugo Ricks and Nick Dryfus working for Dray Line freight. Bet they'd give UPS or FedEx a run for their money!

Presidential candidates Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Mitt Romney, John McCain?... yeah, they haven't bothered campaigning in Ricketts yet- but hey, back when the town was only 11 years old and had a population of 102 (not counting surrounding farms) the Governor of Iowa itself came and paid us a visit. Suppose the town of Carroll was named for him?
