Backstory and Context

Text-to-speech Audio

This virtual tour includes numerous streets and communities that include a vast area. Owing to the difficulty to pinpoint a precise single landmark, the creators of this site felt the tour would be most useful as a virtual tour that visualizes this important history. Recognizing that most people use Clio as a travel app, entries were edited to become contributing entries to this interpretive entry. We hope that this will make sure that all entries offer interpretive context and will make this virtual tour/visualization of the city's history more useful as an educational resource.
