In this episode I talk with Dr. Malinda Willard, a nearly life-time resident of the Beaumont Mill Village, and her niece Dr. Laura Palmer. Malinda has lived in the Beaumont Mill Village, now a locally designated historic district, since 1945 when her parents bought their first house on the GI Bill. The Beaumont Mill Village Pathway, the latest segment of the Daniel Morgan Trail System, passes through the neighborhood with its historic homes and quiet streets. Malinda and Laura talk about their memories of growing up in the mill village, and why it's important to protect the historic integrity of the community.
