Two Rivers, WI (Manitowoc County)
The Two Rivers Fishing Village District lies along the east bank of the Mishicot (East Twin) River, starting near the point of merger with the Neshoto (West Twin) River and their entry into Lake Michigan. It is made up of riverfront docking and boat servicing areas, fishing sheds and warehouses, a few retail stores and homes closely related in a ten block space aligned between the river. East and Jackson Streets.
The older small gabled-roofed residences, sometimes cluttered yards, fishing related buildings, net drying reels, and fishing equipment lend an historic atmosphere to the community which is tempered only slightly by telephone poles and lines overhead, cables, hanging intersection street lights and TV antennas.
The dates of significance 1855 to 1920 are cited to encompass the era following the arrival of the majority of the French Canadian families in which they and the fishing industry played the greatest role in the development of the community. (1)

Wisconsin Dells, WI (Columbia County)
Wisconsin Dells is a city in south-central Wisconsin, with a population of 2,678 people as of the 2010 census. It straddles four counties: Adams, Columbia, Juneau, and Sauk. The city takes its name from the Dells of the Wisconsin River, a scenic, glacially formed gorge that features striking sandstone formations along the banks of the Wisconsin River. Together with the nearby village of Lake Delton, the city forms an area known as "The Dells", a popular Midwestern tourist destination.
Because of the scenery provided by the dells of the Wisconsin River, Kilbourn City quickly became a popular travel destination in the Midwest. In 1856, Leroy Gates began taking tourists on boat tours of the Wisconsin Dells. These tours were given using wooden rowboats until 1873 when the first steamboat, the Modocawanda, was used. In 1875, early landscape photographer H. H. Bennett established a studio in the city and took many photos of the sandstone formations in the dells, including stereoscopic views. Prints of these photographs were distributed across the United States, further enhancing the status of Kilbourn City as a destination for sightseers. Taking advantage of this, Bennett began offering to take souvenir pictures of visitors to the dells, becoming one of the first to capitalize on the area's burgeoning tourist trade. Today, the H. H. Bennett Studio is an historic site operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society. (1)

Built in 1888. The first floor was used as an opera hall, and the upper floor was used for meetings and events. It is now an antique store.
A potential downfall of online learning is that if you are in a place that does not have an internet connection, you probably will not be able to access your work.
