Thanks much for the video!!! I was sooo happy that you had a pict of chips burger I used to eat there back in the seventies!!! Do you have any Picts/ movies of central ave at night ? I always loved the yellow clearance lights on the islands in the street!

Sorry, all I had were the 3 videos of Marshfield that I uploaded. The camera I had back then didn't handle low light very well at all. That's why in the Cruising Marshfield, part 2, I stopped the video at Second St. because the buildings were on the shaded side of Central Ave. I'm hoping someone with older or better quality video uploads their version of Marshfield soon. Thanks for your comment, Dave.

Amazing... I've been searching for ages to find any footage of an older Marshfield, thanks!! Got any more? :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sorry, but this is all I have. I made the video for posterity and then thought others might get a kick out of seeing the town 20 some years ago. I wish I had a better camera back then but they were pretty expensive. The original copy is slightly clearer. Thanks for your comment. Dave

I just uploaded another vintage Marshfield video which was part of a family Christmas video in 1984. It is titled"(Before Veterans Parkway) Peach Ave. in Marshfield, Wisconsin on Dec. 25, 1984." It shows the buildings on Peach Ave. before the Veterans Parkway overpass was built.

I grew up there and spent my first 35 years there. Then I moved to SoCal about the time that you shot this video. Thanks for the memories.

We moved away in January 1986; but I remember making this drive back into town many times after camping, visiting family in Canada, etc. I haven't been back there since the late 80s so I have no idea how much it's changed. Thanks for posting!
