Goal for the Day: Learn About Your Home Town

No matter how new our communities may seem, each of them has a fascinating history. Your city didn’t begin when the house in which you live was built. Where I live, it’s rather easy to see the history of the city. While we have a new section with large, spacious, new homes, I live in the part of town which is filled with beautiful Victorian buildings and reminders of our history.


If you’ve lived in a community for a long time, you’ve seen how quickly the landscape around you has changed. Imagine how much it has changed over a century, or two! Take some time to become acquainted with the social and architectural history of your city. By studying the past, you will immediately see how similar the lives of our forebears were as well as how different. You’ll see trends and changes which continue to this day and you’ll have an opportunity to glimpse into the future.
