CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT

“Protecting buildings of this age is our greatest responsibility,” said Wertz. “Because we are locally supported, their care relies on our visitors, our gift shop, and the generosity of those who believe Laura’s story deserves authentic stewardship.” History, she continues, is vital to preserve. And Laura’s history is “everyman’s history,” which makes it unique. “It’s the story of the people who brought us into the 20th century with grit and grace,” said Wertz. “These were the parents and grandparents of the Greatest Generation . The same blood and grit running through their veins is in ours as well. Every generation faces trials; learning how our ancestors overcame theirs is essential in our

own troubled world.” FOR MORE
