The documentary, Rabbit Hash (the Center of the
Universe)
had it's Midwestern premier at the Madison
 Theater in Covington.   You can buy the DVD here, the
site of the Rabbit Hash Historical Society. This is their promo shot
of Rabbit Hash, and is from the 1907 Flood (For the record, we
 all know the "Hollywood-type" sign is a Photoshop job, right?)

In 1894, Reuben Gold Thwaites, the director of the 
Wisconsin State Historical Society, and a noted historian,
 traveled the length of the Ohio River, with his family and 
his trusty Number 2 Kodak Camera.  The next 3 pictures
were taken by him, at Rabbit Hash

This is what two horsepower looks like.
