It's here: A new way to discover Pine City History!
Walk around downtown Pine City and learn the history of over 30 locations. History in this Spot is a self guided walk. Each participating location has an 11 x 17" poster with that spot's history. Each poster has a QR code that links to a map of participating sites. A second QR code on each poster links to more information on that spot. The more feature will grow in time.
We are focusing on locations in the downtown area. Click here to learn how to become a participating site.
