It’s even more bizarre to think about the differences between the present and the early 20th century. Idaho is a constantly changing state, and these ten old photographs are a real look at just how much has changed. All of these photos were taken during the 1930s and they give us an interesting glimpse into what life was really like back then.</div><div><br></div><div><b>A large family living in Oneida, Idaho poses for a photograph.
