My experience as a tour leader and a "Passer Down" of history was great. I really loved the experience of being able to interact with the kids. While they were actually learning things about our  very on town that they live in! It's very important to have people who are able to teach and really know about their town. So that we can pass down this information to generation to generation, so that it will never be forgotten. The most interesting thing that I learned while preparing for this downtown tour. Was that Roanoke at one point and time actually had three movie theater's. Every since I have been living in Roanoke the only theater I actually knew about was the Martin theater. But thanks to the community studies class I now know that Roanoke had the Martin theater, Liberty theater, and Star theater. Which were all mostly on the same corner. One thing that I would like to add was that I was very impressed with the  group that I had. They all was well behaved and exciting to learn about the history of downtown.
