        <ExplanationTxt>Cultural Programming. Being resident on a site on the Federal and State Registers of Historic Places, we offer history-oriented programming several times during the year. For example, the local 4th grade class is hosted for Colonial Day each year so they can learn about the important history that occurred in their neighborhood. This event is timed to their classroom work around Colonial history. In addition, when any music event occurs, historical information is always part of our messaging.</ExplanationTxt>
