It should make visitors want to visit and appreciate the city as it exists presently, not just consider the past. Highlight historical connections that can be made everyday with living places and objects: why streets are named what they are, why buildings are built like they are, why neighborhoods are located where they are and who lived there...How the city is historically connected to other cities in the area, how it is connected to the rest of the county and how these relationships have changed and continued.
