Downtown Tour!

My experience as a tour leader was fantastic. I really enjoyed teaching the kids about the history of Roanoke. I just love how the kids were interested with the history and how they already knew some of the facts we was telling them. I think it was very important to teach the six graders about the history of Roanoke because they should know what the town of Roanoke use to be like and how it was operated back in the day. Now that I did all that I could to teach them about our history, I hope they can later on in life take that information and tell someone that don't know the history of our hometown. Some may think that Roanoke is a little town with no history but once they learn what I have learned these past few days they would be surprised like I was when I was learning about our history. While preparing for this tour the most interesting thing that I learned was about the bus station that Roanoke once had. As long as I have been living here I never knew that Roanoke had a bus station. One more interesting thing that I learned is that Roanoke had three theaters, I only knew about one of them and that is because of the big theater sign that lights up at night on Main Street.
