Local Landmarks

Choose a significant place in your local community and explore its history, importance, and influence.

Design a narrative around a particular building, park, or monument in your locality that appeals to you. Discovering its history, the people associated with it, the events it has witnessed, and the role it plays in your immediate environment can yield enriching anecdotes and interesting angles. This exercise prompts exploration of local history, development of research skills, and synthesis of information.
