The pictorial-with-captions presentation covers the topics of Montrose houses, streets, mail delivery, education, law enforcement, medical facilities, communication, transportation and the Montrose Cemetery. Presenter Dick Scott, a Montrose native, recounted his experiences growing up in an 1850s-era house, as well as many other details about the history of Montrose. Montrose was originally named Sibley City after Cyrus Sibley, who founded it in 1847. Sibley deeded land for Montrose Cemetery in 1856.
