| The Trails (Part I) | Long before the railroad, airplane, and automobile; the desire to develop the West brought explores, mountain men, fur trappers and a few brave settlers into Wyoming. Later this would be followed by miners, farmers and ranchers, and hundreds of thousands of settlers to California, Oregon and Utah. Many of the routes that would eventually become prominent trails were developed by Native Americans as they followed the natural migration routes of Bison, Elk and other prairie animals as they moved... | 41.157628, -104.833109 | On Carey Avenue, Cheyenne, (On the left when traveling south) | https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=95197 |

| The Volga Germans | The Justus Bissing, Frederick Karlin, and Frederick Koerner families stayed on this site from March 1 till April 8 of 1876, while they were building their sod dugouts in nearby Katherinenstadt (Catherine). These people were the first of nearly a thousand German-speaking Catholics who migrated to Ellis County from the Volga River area of Russia during the late 1870's. Other Volga-German villages formed were Herzog, now Victoria (1876), Obermonjou, which became Munjor (1876), Pfeifer (1876... | 38.874051, -99.331350 | On Fort Street, Hays, (On the right when traveling south) | https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=96490 |
| The Weir - Pittsburg Coalfield | With the discovery of coal in Cherokee and Crawford Counties in the late 1860's, thousands came to work the mines. Some came from American towns and cities but most were immigrants from Europe. Over fifty nationalities settled in this area. Many landed at Ellis Island and continued here by railroad before heading out to the coal camps. Some came to find work. Some to escape repression. Some to find a new life in America. All were seekers. What they found was not the "paradise on Earth... | 37.409269, -94.707558 | On 2nd Street, Pittsburg, (On the right when traveling west) | https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=35522 |
| The Weir-Pittsburg Coal Field in Cherokee County | The 1st Deep Mine, Scammonville, KS In 1874 four brothers from Illinois, the Scammon brothers, pioneered new methods of mining coal in southeastern Kansas, digging the first mine shaft in Cherokee County. Although many doubted that their room-and-pillar system would work in such shallow mines, this Cherokee County mine was soon producing 40 carloads of coal a day. Within a few years, underground mining became the principal method of coal mining in southeastern Kansas. The Scammon brothers mined... | 37.409226, -94.706958 | On 2nd Street, Pittsburg, (On the right when traveling west) | https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=35605 |
| The Worker | In 1821 Hugh Commisky led a band of laborers on a trek from Charlestown to Lowell. With muscle and sweat they dredged canals in the soil of rugged farmland. As others joined in their toil a complex waterpower system evolved, creating a new era of textile production. When one generation had endured and the clamor of manufacturing increased, immigrants came by the thousands seeking labor and a better life. This fountain celebrated workers and their contributions to industrial and human heritage. | 42.644860, -71.312890 | On Kirk Street, Lowell, (On the right when traveling north) | https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=1620 |
| The World Arrives … … Trenton Thrives | Just as the river has for centuries flowed across the falls of the Delaware, so have waves of people streamed into the Trenton area to settle, raise families and make a living. Still more people have passed through this hub in the landscape – along the river and roadways, across the ford, aboard ferries and over bridges. Native Americans were drawn here by nature’s abundance. As seasonal visits turned into extended stays, American-Indian camps on the riverbanks grew into villages.
