THE INCREDIBLE MAGIC CONTINUES.....

The incredible magic of that very special day of celebration on September 22 continues to fill our hearts. Please see the links below to keep the story circulating.

A Blog Post from Robert Nieweg of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The NTHP was a co-sponsor of this historic commemoration and Rob walked the river in honor of those who took that very important first step in 1862.
