RTHS Resources
Exploring history is a voyage of discovery. It is a journey that, once the flame of interest has been lit, is virtually never-ending. Through our inquiry, people, places and events from the past come alive to enlighten, entertain and inform, and to remind us that there is almost always more to a story than meets the eye.
Ideally, the study of local history enables us to better understand and appreciate our past, and maybe even our present. Ultimately, perhaps the lessons learned from what has gone before can help us shape a positive future for ourselves and our communities.
