Art Dycke, City Historian, started writing about our good City shortly after being appointed to the position in 2000. Almost all of the history that we know can be contributed to his hard work and research. The following, with a few exceptions to visiting authors, are his words. Thank you Art for your eternal contribution to the Historical Society and Community. The tradition carries on after 2014 with the Society adding additional authors and content.
