With a lot of talk about change in the county lately, it raises some natural questions. Where have we been? What have we done? Who was here before us? This started as a personal research project, and somewhere along the way I decided I could share it with everyone through this website. The site will keep growing as I come across more.

I should say up front that I use AI to help with this project, especially with research and writing, so I apologize for any quirks that pop up because of that. There is a lot of material to work through as one person, and I am doing my best to iron out the kinks. Every page has a list of external sources at the bottom showing where the information was pulled from.

I would love to hear your personal stories. If you have stories, photos, or family history you would like to share, send them to [email protected]. If you spot an error or have a correction, you can reach me at [email protected]. With your permission, I will document what you share here. Thanks for stopping by, and keep checking in as this grows.
