Episode 3
Episode three kicks off with the historic New Era Paper, which dates back to the early 1850s. Discover how the paper and its editor shaped the community of Newmarket and preserved much of the local history we know today. Then, dive into the rails of Newmarket's past. Cars have made the train obsolete in many ways, but it's very possible the town would not exist today had it not been connected to early railways. All that and so much more history, now!
