"Branching Out"
On this edition of MainStreet we take a look at a mix of courage and remembrance. It is remarkable how the events and people in our own back yard play vital roles in shaping our history and defining who we are as a country. First, join us as we travel back in time to see an amazing World War Two flying fortress with an incredible past. In that same spirit we’ll spend time remembering a Pulaski County factory worker that put a new face on the war effort back home. Then, we travel to Perryville to relive a battle that many believe could’ve changed the course of the nation forever. And finally, we’ll take a look inside a Hart County cave recently opened to the public for the first time.
