The Wikimedia Commons website offers a multitude of historical images with no restrictions on use. (Search for vintage KS stereo images, for example.) This Conklin & Kleckner stereoview, titled Family in front of a sod house probably was filmed in the second half of the nineteenth century. A similar style stereoview, showing bridge construction, dates to 1875.
The reverse of a Conklin and Kleckner describes their oeuvre:
