| Tourists visit more than museums. They want to discover the history of the people and how the area came to be. It is more than architecture and more than industries.
See where people work and live. Explore historic company towns. Discover their relationship with the land. How was it developed? How did it change? What resources were extracted? How did people maintain their homes and buildings? |
