 An antique "cabbage shredder is compared with today's smaller counterpart. The accompanying description explains that cabbage was shredded and preserved as "sauerkraut" for use by German immigrants during the long winters. |
 Postcards and photos of old houses are shown with today's view. Many houses have changed drastically. Some have stayed the same over many decades. |

 The Town of Esopus was the home to many schools to include the Mother Cabrini's and the Wiltwick School. |
 Arizona and New Mexico's admission to the Union brought "Old Glory" up to 48 stars in 1912. The admission of Alaska and Hawaii in 1959 resulted in today's 50-star flag. |
