Dec 17, 2025In 1912, Chicago’s beloved “Captain Santa” ignored numerous red flags and loaded his ship, the "Rouse Simmons" with thousands of Christmas trees and tried to beat a storm back to his destination… Why?

Dec 10, 2025In the 1816, a small farming village, called Ricker Basin aka Ricker Mill, was founded in Waterbury, Vermont.
