Photos from the
Wilhelm H. Linderud Collection
Stoughton Historical Society
Wilhelm H. Linderud was an amateur photographer and newspaper editor in Stoughton who documented the city’s buildings and residents in a collection of photographs taken between about 1894 and 1912. In 2010, his family donated the glass slides for these photographs to the Stoughton Historical Society. These slides were painstakingly digitized and restored by Art Wendt, a local photographer who, with his wife Eileen, operated a photographic portrait studio in Stoughton for 40 years. Sadly, Art passed away on September 5, 2019, leaving a treasure trove of photos for residents and visitors to enjoy for the years to come.
New! You can now order Linderud photo prints through Woodland Studios in Stoughton. Note the DSCF number of the photo and stop by or order online.
Website Updated - May 2022
Thirty five "new" Linderud photos have been added to the online collection. These photos were recently digitized from prints that had been provided by Art Wendt. The online photos are now viewable in a higher resolution and a "zoom" feature has been added to the light box.
To view photos in the light box, simply click on the image. In the light box, there is a magnifying glass in the upper right corner. Clicking on the magnifying glass zooms in on the image. Clicking again zooms in further. Once the image is magnified, you can move the focus to different parts of the image by placing the cursor over the image, holding down the left mouse button, and moving the cursor.
