This is inspiring me to look at my town’s history too because in the 18 years I lived there it changed dramatically demographically. When I was there it was largely white and a horse town, now it’s largely populated by various Asian backgrounds. I always wondered why it shifted but as a kid never thought into it too much. Now, off I go to do some digging!
It’s crazy how much history there is in our hometowns that we don’t think to look into. Learning more really helps restore a sense of place :)! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Great resource to learn about the indigenous history of our places:
