- Pieces of the Past - Jim Koski Video Stories
"These are short video stories of Marquette. Some of the tales are famous, some are not, but all of them are interesting, at least to me.
Many of the pictures and materials come from the History Center's John M. Longyear Research Library. A few are my own. And others come from the amazing collection of Jack Deo & Superior View Studios, who's graciously allowed us to use them.
If you like what you see, feel free to join us the next time we're giving a tour or putting on a program at the History Center. Or - since you're already here - maybe just make a donation (www.marquetteh.... Either way, you're helping the History Center continue to bring the history of the area to life. Thanks.
- Jim"

Palestra,Gym in italian.Why that term?
@@MicheleLaraia-j4m I can only guess. My guess is that because Laurium is a Greek name, they named the Palestra from a Greek word. The Palestra came from Laurium.
@gregsandell laurium or lAuro(l-ow-roh) is the kind of crown(!) you put on your head when you graduate from college/university.National italian with a greek patron saint(Nicholas the pilgrim) so i can absolutely state that.PalEstra italian for gym.
@gregsandell Laurium=Laurel,Bay,Baytree
@gregsandell palestra also meant to be training centre/center here
