By 1842 the fort was abandoned and for the next 50 years the area remained completely undeveloped. If William Lauderdale were around today he would be stunned to discover that a major American city was named for him, let alone than 10,000,000 million people each year include his namesake town on their vacation agendas.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Downtown Fort Lauderdale has a similar gaping hole in its heritage. The very first building constructed in town, at the landing of Frank Stranahan's ferry in 1893, still stands and several buildings associated with the town's pioneers are extant. But there are hardly any other buildings constructed before the 1970s to be seen.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With over 100 miles of natural and artificial waterways, Fort Lauderdale likes to fancy itself the "Venice of America" so the natural place to launch our walking tour will be down by the water...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

In the course of performing his task, he discovered that the original survey forgot to stake out 50 acres at the confluence of the Shenango River and Neshannock Creek. Stewart claimed it for himself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Stewart laid out the town of New Castle, named for his hometown in Delaware, in April of 1798; the town became a became a borough in 1825, having a population of about 300. Business began to flourish with the construction of the canal system which made its way through the city. Numerous manufacturing plants located in New Castle because of the availability of transportation facilities and ready access to raw material markets. The canal system was later supplemented and then replaced by the railroad system which offered greater speed and capacity for freight as well as year round service.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the 1870s, the city became a major hub of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad and by 1900 was one of the fastest growing cities in the country as it became the tin plate capital of the world - the population swelled from 11,600 in 1890 to 28,339 in 1900, and to 38,280 in 1910, as immigrants flocked to the city to work in the mills. Steel and paper mills, foundries, a bronze bushing factory, and car-construction plants contributed to the economy. In addition, the Shenango China produced commercial china and created fine china for the White House, including dinnerware for Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and Lyndon B. Johnson.＜/p＞ ＜p＞New Castle has been known for decades as the Fireworks Capital of America; it is home to Zambelli Fireworks, the largest manufacturer and exhibitor of fireworks today. Our walking tour will begin at Zambelli Plaza that has been designed to be a focal point of downtown New Castle where the two major roads of East Washington and Mill streets join and a fireworks sculpture illuminates the night...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. This walking tour of Spartanburg, South Carolina is ready to explore when you are. Each walking tour describes historical, architectural landmarks, cultural sites and ecclesiastic touchstones and provides step-by-step directions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After a treaty was struck with the Cherokee Nation in 1753 European settlers, primarily Scotch-Irish, began trickling into this area from Pennsylvania and Virginia in the late eighteenth century. Almost unimaginably, here, far from the cobblestone streets of Philadelphia and Boston and Williamsburg, some of the most influential battles of the American Revolution would be fought.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the impenetrable woods on King's Mountain 160 Loyalists were killed and 760 more were taken captive by American woodsmen. Several months later more seasoned armies clashed on land used to winter cattle known locally as Hannah's Cowpens. American general Daniel Morgan broke his badly outnumbered Continental force into three lines of defense and were able to completely rout the British. The fighting at Cowpens lasted barely one hour, but British losses were staggering: 110 dead and over 700 captured and wounded. Morgan lost only 12 killed and 60 wounded in a victory as complete as any in the Revolution. The Continental Congress awarded only 14 medals during the American Revolution, and three, including Daniel Morgan, were given for heroism at Cowpens.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Once the war ended, settlements sprang up in and around the area, and the new district began to take shape by forming its own government. Following the construction of a new courthouse, the town was named Spartanburg after the Spartan Regiment that had represented the area in Daniel Morgan's army.＜br /＞ In 1831 the town incorporated and would become known as the "Hub City" as many railroads connected into the town. Between the late 19th century and early 20th century the textile industry dominated the economy in Spartanburg. Nearly 40 textile mills were built during this time period. Camp Wadsworth, located west of the city, became a second home to over 100,000 men as they trained for World War I. Then, during World War II over 200,000 men trained at Camp Croft located south of the city.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Spartanburg remains an important manufacturing center today but the streetscape is much changed from a hundred years ago. Some 19th century buildings remain, most are gone. Corporate headquarters and modern buildings have arrived to take their place in some cases, in some cases not. Daniel Morgan has watched it all since his statue was erected in the center of town in 1881 on the Centennial anniversary of his landmark Cowpens victory. And that is where we will begin our walking tour...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Near the northern entrance to the Shenandoah Valley and sited at the crossroads of two historic foot trails, Winchester is the oldest Virginia city west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Germans migrating from Pennsylvania did most of the heavy lifting in settling the region in the 1730s but the land belonged to the English lord, Thomas 6th Baron Fairfax of Cameron, part of his proprietary inheritance. In 1749 Lord Fairfax settled in the area that was called Frederick Town after Frederick, father of George III of England. To help figure out just what he had with his Virginia lands one of the surveyors that was hired was an eager red-headed lad by the name of George Washington, enthusiastically digging into his first paid job. Washington would build Fort Loudoun here during the French and Indian War and, at twenty-six, was elected to his first public office as the county's representative to the House of Burgesses.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The town's named was switched to Winchester, honoring an ancient English capital, in 1752. It boasted a population approaching 1,000 and was the trade center of the valley on the Great Wagon Road from Pennsylvania to the southwest. There were many roads leading to ports where goods could be shipped to and from England. In the days after the Revolutionary War, Winchester led a charge to prosperity in America's developing western lands. At one point merchants petitioned the Virginia assembly to build more roads and ferry boats, citing delays up to three days for freight wagons to get across the Shenandoah River.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By the mid 19th-century Winchester was a major supply route; the town lay on the Valley pike and was served by east-west and north-south railroads and the Potomac river. Not surprisingly, from the spring of 1862 until the fall of 1864 Winchester changed flags some 70 times. Four major engagements were fought in and around town. No traces of these battles, which helped drain Union resources away from a march on Richmond, remain.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although more than 200 homes and buildings were destroyed during the fighting, Winchester shook off the ravages of the Civil War quicker than most Southern towns - mostly on the back of the apple. Winesaps, Pippins, Staymans, the Delicious, Black Twigs and, especially, York Imperials overflowed in some of the world's largest packing houses. the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival began in the spring of 1924 to encourage folks to admire the hundreds of thousands of apple trees coming into bloom each year.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Our walking tour will visit a bit of Colonial history, a bit of Revolutionary War history, a bit of Civil War history and even touch on a bit of apple history and we'll begin in the traditional center of town where folks used to gather for everything from a public hanging to Christmas caroling...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour from walkthetown.com is ready to explore when you are.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If you are sailing to Alaska to join the gold rush in the 1880s there are two strategies to employ in your quest for riches - hit the ground and start looking or pay someone to tell you where the gold is. Mining engineer George Pilz took the latter tack; he offered a reward to local Tlingit Indian chiefs who could lead him to gold. Chief Kowee of the Auk Tlingit tribe produced some nuggets he claimed came from the Gastineau Channel, a traditional fishing ground. Pilz sent prospectors Richard T. Harris and Joseph Juneau to check out the streams in August of 1880. At first they found nothing but eventually they explored all the way to the head of now-named Gold Creek where they scooped up nuggets "as larges as peas and beans." The Alaskan Gold Rush was on.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By October of 1880 a 160-acre town had been staked out. At first it was named for Harris and then called Rockwell after a military man named Charles Rockwell and finally, after a vote by the miners in 1881, Juneau. In boomtown fashion Juneau attracted fortune-seekers from around the world but after the loose gold in streambeds ran out most of the prospectors moved on and the town settled into the business of hard-rock mining. Before the last mines closed in 1944 the Juneau area would produce more than $80 million in gold.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1900, Juneau was incorporated into a city. Six years later after Sitka, the original capital of Alaska, suffered a population drain with the decline of its whaling and fur industries the government picked up and moved to Juneau. It has remained ever since, fending off repeated re-location bids from more centrally located towns like Fairbanks and Anchorage. There have been votes to move the capital in 1984 and 1996 and as recently as 2002 a movement to abandon Juneau was squelched. Luckily for Juneauites there are two powerful pretenders to the throne whose interests tend to to cancel one another out, lest the other gain an advantage.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the meantime Juneau, which can only be reached by water or air, hums along on the backs of the government that employs four out of every ten workers and the tourist industry which serves a million guests a year from arriving tour boats. The Juneau streetscape still resembles a frontier town with low-rise wooden buildings, about 60 of which remain from before 1900. There is no more spectacular state capitol setting than beside the Gastineau Channel at the foot of Mount Juneau and our explorations will begin on the docks where we are met by a very special greeter...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
