An important aspect of history is its ability to give us an awareness of the people who came before us and the way they lived. Stories of the "Old Days", and people's memories of the past can be more revealing than plain facts. They give us insight into details of everyday life that are often overlooked in conventional histories. And they are entertaining at the same time! This section gives a glimpse into life in the Mississagi River Valley from the very early days of settlement, to the more recent past.
