The Market and Me
Where is the market? The 1845 General Store, the 1827 Green-Grocer’s Market, or the 1810 Oxcart “Market on the Move” may not resemble modern places where people come together to exchange goods and services, but through the stories of the early settlers we learn how people in communities connect through the marketplace. Learn how a growing population, rich natural resources, innovations in transportation and the spark of a creative community gave this region a strong start.
