On this page you will find a history of our borough and some other interesting things to view. It is not meant to be a scholarly work, rather, just a fun page to bring back some old memories.

If  YOU would like to share your memories, old photos, or documents, please contact me at the address below. Photos or documents will be scanned and returned to you promptly.  Email Dick Backus

DISCLAIMER:
History is rarely an exact science. If you ever played the game “telephone” as a kid, the one where a person whispers a phrase to the person next to him, then it gets passed around a whole group, you know what distortions  can happen to information in one sitting,  let alone over several centuries, and dozens of generations. Sometimes, in doing historical research, one even finds discrepancies in the written records.

Therefore, the content of this page is accurate to the extent that my ability and time allowed. If there are any errors or omissions which offend anyone, they are entirely my responsibility, and I am sorry.  Otherwise, have fun ! (This page is not connected in any way with the government of Dravosburg or its elected officials.)
