Steamboat history feature

STEAMBOAT ROCK – You can thank Dennis Holmes for the seamless trip back and back into Steamboat Rock’s yesteryear. Holmes loves the town’s commercial story and his family was a big part of it.

His grandfather Jim was in the bank and his dad Russell in the drug store on Market Street. And it is Market Street Holmes has remembered in such detail, piecing together the street’s story for a presentation this year at Rainsbarger Days.

The Rainsbargers will be celebrated downtown this year, with walking tours of the old business central, running every hour starting at 10 a.m. and ending at 2 p.m.  on September 3.

Tours start at the present day historical society building. (Read the rest in the Friday Index)
