Hometown History
Personally curated histories from hometowns around America. Join Shane Waters as he travels to places of forgotten historical significance and shares these hometown stories with listeners. Like his visit to the Cherokee Nation in Cherokee, North Carolina where he interviewed the Cherokee at The Museum of the Cherokee Indian. Or when he traveled to The Biltmore Estate, the largest home in America, to share the time when some of the nation’s most prized artwork was hidden within their walls to protect them from the Nazi’s.
