This year marks the 200^th Anniversary of the Taylor family’s arrival from New York, founding a community that still thrives today. The Taylor family moved here for its rich natural resources – commodities in high demand for at least 12,000 years. From bone tools to blacksmiths, subsistence farmers to world renowned doctors, this region has a long history of industry and skill. Explore stories of the past in this brand new exhibit!
