Liv had her first day of kindergarten today! She said it wasn’t a good day, it was an AWESOME day! (I only cried a little after I left the school)

If you weren’t here then you missed out! Excited to connect teachers with local history and resources they can use in the classroom!

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo.

This is Ruth Whitfield, 86. Her son, the former Buffalo Fire Commissioner, said she was on her way from visiting her husband in a nursing home and stopped at the store to get something to eat.

Also, we drove by the Nooherooka Monument. We were completely moved by the symbolism of this place- the site of the final major battle of the Tuscarora War.
