History Happened Here

National and global events all happened somewhere, and historical markers mark Frontiersman, soldier, writer, astronaut, Frontiersman, Soldier, Writer, Astronaut the place where many occurred. But the richness of history is in its local details, details that can be insignificant on the global stage: the home of an individual who made a difference; a natural feature, building, byway; or just something interesting that happened nearby. History is not just about the high and mighty.
