A lot of history is now gone
A lot of history is now gone due to that fire consuming that first building. There were old signs, games, paintings, etc... it is sad to see that they are now gone. Good thing we took some pictures of it all while doing some exploring in the recent years.

I highly suggest picking up a copy of it!!
