Immigrant colonies

Immigration and heritage

Immigrant colonies

Rural roads and streets of old houses, many still maintained by descendants of the founders.

The outing is to walk slowly along rural roads and streets of old houses: half-timbered constructions, the German technique of exposed wooden beams, stone houses from Italian immigration, mills, churches and cemeteries where surnames repeat. Many properties are still maintained by descendants of the founders.
