The Lehigh Valley
Gave Birth to America’s Industrial Revolution
The Brandywine Valley, facing
an industrial development that would impact a largely rural community, focused
on Development
& Conservancy Issues, including floodplain areas that threatened to
devastate water supplies in parts of the Delaware River Valley. Local residents
bought endangered land and initiated conservation easements that now protect
five and one-half miles along the Brandywine River.
In Philadelphia, the waterfront
is now a 6 mile walking and biking destination. Trail features include streetscape
improvements along the entire waterfront trail, a bi-directional bikeway,
pedestrian walkway and rain gardens that collect the first inch of storm water,
relieving the city sewer system during major weather events, as well as
benches, bike racks, decorative street pavers and innovative solar trail
lighting. Center City offers a thriving culture and entertainment scene as well
as contemporary arts museum with training
programs and study tours for students, aspiring artists and family
traveling.

South
Dakota
Aberdeen before the arrival of European settlers, the area was
inhabited by the Sioux Indians. The first group of Euro-American settlers to
reach the area in the 1820s was a party of four people, three horses, two
mules, fifteen cattle, and two wagons. This group of settlers was later joined
by another group the following spring, and eventually more settlers migrated
toward this general area.
Like many towns of the Midwest, Aberdeen was built around the newly developing
railroads. Officially plotted as a town site on January 3, 1881 by the
Milwaukee Road which was presided over by Alexander Mitchell, who was born in
Scotland, hence the name Aberdeen. The town was officially founded on July 6,
1881, the date of the first arrival of a Milwaukee Railroad train.
Aberdeen the perfect family destination
The Dacotah Prairie Museum The idea for a community museum in Aberdeen dates back almost 70 years. In 1938, John Murphy, a Northern State College professor, and Marc Cleworth, a salesman, created the Northern South Dakota History Museum which was housed in the Central building on Northern's campus. The collection of this first museum grew rapidly through loans and donations until by 1941, it had amassed a collection of over 500 items. Read More
