I have a hard time seeing the importance of knowing the history of where you live. Quite frankly, I am not a history buff. It is not something that I ever enjoyed in school, and to this day, I do not go out of my way to learn the history of a town. Partly, I think it is because I don’t see the importance of memorizing history. This makes it very difficult for me to keep it stored in my brain. Writing it down and having it available is helpful and should be done, but I don’t think it is important for me to go out of my way to take the time to learn it.
