Preparation

   My co-op starts in 2 days, so I decided I'd better get ready! I have a summer position at Medora, North Dakota that will also earn me co-op credit at college. The purpose of this blog is to record my day-to-day experiences and the skills I develop in living history and public speaking. I will be working on different projects throughout the summer, which I will know more about when I start on Monday!

   One of the main aspects of my position is knowing about the history of Medora, and being able to share that knowledge with others. I decided (last minute as always) to do some research. That way, when someone asks me when the city was founded, or why it was named Medora, I will be able to answer (1883 and for the founder's wife- if you were wondering).

Here are the websites I looked at for information- take a look:
http://www.medora.com/
http://www.medorand.com/history/timeline/
http://www.medorand.com/attractions/?409
http://www.history.nd.gov/mediaroom/footsteps.html

   There are many more resources to draw upon, but these were the websites I first stumbled upon. I already have a basic idea of the history of Medora from numerous visits in the past, but it's definitely a good idea to brush up on that information. I'm guessing that a strong learning curve will be important as well! Ok, wish me luck- I'm off to stuff my brain with more facts!
