Batavia, Illinois Parades 1949, 1960s Old Home Movies

At the 2:34 time-line there is a Float saying "VFW 50th Anniversary" VFW started in 1899. 50 years later would be 1949. That's my guess, at least, some of this footage is from then. The last few minutes looks like the late 50s, maybe very early 60s. Know anyone,.. or places? Enjoy!

Wow! There are so many people that would want to watch this!! At the end the Baptist Church. We went there it was torn down, as well as other stores and Car shop!

Many of the later model cars are of the 1952-53 era and I know that the Chrysler/Plymouth dealership run by Del Manning was established in 1952 and lasted until 1956. This is shown in the later Batavia Avenue scenes.
