It is an area rich in cultural heritage - prehistoric Indians, pioneer settlers, rural family life, folklore. "Looking at History" concentrates on the land and the natural culture of the inhabitants to produce a unique portrait of a distinctive area of our state. Included are 105 photographs, drawings, and maps.
