- How did things get this way?
- How has the unique landscape of America's Wild Rivers Coast influenced people's lives?
- How has such a spectacular region remained so pristine? 
- With the river and ocean so available for fishing, and the towering forests so available for logging, why the transition to tourism as the major industry?
- What of the Native American Indian tribes inhabiting this coastal region for so very long before Lewis and Clark ever laid eyes on the Pacific Ocean?

Books and tales are informative, and photos can add, but I find standing in the exact spot, especially with surroundings preserved, can add the dimension that makes history come alive in an up close and personal way.  If I allow myself to "live it", I sense I know what people were feeling, the choices they faced, the decisions they made, and an understanding of why things happened the way they did.

Native American Indians! Settlers coming ashore! Re-live the struggle at Battle Rock!

Magnificent Otter Point! Why so named?  What importance to American Indians? Where have all the sea otters gone?

Local Chambers of Commerce and welcome centers can provide a comprehensive list, description, location, and hours, to help plan your venture back into the history of America's Wild Rivers Coast!
