In this episode, Hailey is uncovering the history of Lake Geneva, from its impressive, historic buildings, treasured artifacts, and a long-lasting legacy that all began right here in Lake Geneva. Up first: historic buildings. With a journey along the Geneva Lake Shore Path, many impressive and historic buildings are put on display, like Black Point Estate. Later, Hailey heads to another architectural gem–Yerkes Observatory–to learn about its beginnings. Then, Hailey goes on a quest to find Lake Geneva’s most treasured artifacts at none other than the Geneva Lake Museum. Finally, Hailey learns about the long-lasting legacy of Lake Geneva that all began with one influential person–Gary Gygax, the author and co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons!
