The Stories Behind the Names: Exploring Local History Using StoryMaps

Using historic maps, archival photos, and an interactive digital StoryMap, explore how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping helps reveal the lasting contributions and deep community connections of our local namesakes.

This program is free and open to the public. Refreshments provided.
