There’s national and even global historical events that we all generally learn about, but smaller locales also have their own histories that tend to be taught only to the people that live there. Today, we want to hear your favorite stories from your area’s local history.
Tell us in the comments about a piece of local history from your city, town, or region. Be sure to tell us what happened, when it happened, and how it’s remembered today — as well as any monuments, commemorative events, pictures or illustrations, or alternate versions of events that co-exist with the official version of the tale.
