You will feel the am- biance of the Town a century ago as you view a scale model of the village, meet Cary's founding fam- ily, and learn about the Union general from Ohio for whom our Town was named. A detailed growth chart enables you to see the development of the Cary community from a one square mile area in 1871 to a fif- ty-five square mile area in 2009. A time line, comprised of two and three-dimensional artifacts, provides historic perspective by juxtaposing national and international events with significant happenings in Cary. Your ideas are welcome! We have developed "Cary- on!," a study guide for teachers and students who are interested in learning more about Cary. "Cary-osity," a DVD depicting the history of Cary, is available to in - troduce schools, civic organizations and newcomers to the Town. Ongoing programs link the past to the present and help us to imagine the future. Be a part of the Cary Heritage Museum by training to lead tours for children and adults.
