    Oceana County Historic Resource Survey 198 Oceana Drive, Rothbury New England Barn & Queen Anne Residence Hart-Montague Trail, Rothbury The trail is twenty-two miles of the former rail bed of the Pere Marquette Railroad. It was made a state park in 1988. The railroad parallels much of the West Michigan Pike route but is most visible between Whitehall and Shelby. New Era New Era was found in 1878 by a group of Dutch that had been living in Montague serving as mill hands. They wanted to return to an agrarian lifestyle and purchased farms and planted peach orchards. In 1947, there were eighty-five Dutch families in New Era. 4856 Oceana, New Era New Era Canning Company The New Era Canning Company was established in 1910 by Edward P. Ray, a Norwegian immigrant who purchased a fruit farm in New Era. Ray grew raspberries, a delicate fruit that is difficult to transport in hot weather. Today, the plant is still owned by the Ray family and processes green beans, apples, and asparagus.

Experimentation, testing and the development of standards for cement and additives in the late 19th century, led to the use of concrete a strong reliable building material after the turn of the century.

  • HISTORIC Trolley Tour Dodge City Convention & Visitors Bureau Historic Trolley Tour
    Self Guided HISTORIC Trolley Tour Dodge City Convention & Visitors Bureau Historic Trolley Tour Photo Rights Reserved by Kansas Heritage Center, Boot Hill Museum, and Josh Roesener Photography. Start Audio Well howdy folks, and welcome to Dodge City, Kansas–cowboy capital of the world! During this tour, you’ll learn about the evolution of Dodge from a dusty trail town to a bustling cattle and agricultural capital. You’ll hear about the people and places that helped create and tame what some have called “the wickedest little city in the west.” However, before there was a town, there was a trail–the Santa Fe Trail. 50 years before Dodge City was founded in 1872, traders and wagons rumbled along where the town is now. Thousands of wagons traveled from Missouri to Santa Fe, an outpost in what was then Mexico, where traders exchanged merchandise for silver and gold. Slow to point 1 Fort Dodge was established in 1865 to protect wagon trains on the trail from Wagon train on Santa Fe Trail attacks by Plains Indian tribes and to furnish supplies to the soldiers who were fighting the Indian wars on the plains. The abundance of buffalo here lured the hunters, who swarmed over the area killing buffalo to sell for a reasonable price. A successful day’s hunt might reward the hunter with a $100. That would be over $3,000 by today’s standards. As the word spread about the excellent hunting and about the railroad that would soon reach western Kansas, entrepreneurs everywhere were eager to start a business near the new railroad tracks and Fort Dodge, to supply hunters with necessities for their trade.

  • 11.Astronaut Geology Training
    11. Astronaut Geology Training We began the geology training course with 29 astronauts. John Glenn attended some of the early classes, but was not formally in- cluded since he had other obligations and was not expected to fly in the Apollo program. We began with lectures by a variety of in- structors. The topics were introductory physical geology, mineral- ogy, petrology, and the Moon. These were presented mostly by the MSC staff and the USGS geologists. The quality of the lectures was uneven-some were good, some were awful. Some of the class members complained about a few of the instructors, and the list of lecturers was revised accordingly. The astronauts were very busy people. They had many other training courses and things to do besides study geology. We could not afford to waste their time with poorly prepared or badly presented material-this was made abun- dantly clear. Furthermore, the crew were not really very interested MOON TRIP 27 in general background; they wanted to get the information they needed for observing and collecting rocks on the lunar surface. My first lecture was delivered in February 1964. I had to cover every- thing they needed to know about mineralogy in a one-hour lecture. This was a tall order. I got through the material, leaving a lot of gaps out of necessity, but the astronauts seemed satisfied. I kept the roll sheet from this first class as a souvenir. A wide range of academic ability, background, and interest ex- isted among the group. Although we continued to lecture from time to time, we found that intensive instruction on field trips was more productive.
