As we turn the pages, we will encounter tourists from
the last century arriving by trolley, steamer, train, and auto; we will join local residents and visitors alike in enjoying seasons of summer fun over the decades; and we will remain behind with the year-round residents after the last September steamboat has departed, to share their daily
experiences, whether at work or at play.
