The Conestoga Program was developed from the concept of the Conestoga wagon train. The wagon train consisted of a long chain of wagons moving together and forming a line. The wagon train allowed pioneers to travel together for safety and supply sharing.
A neighborhood is much like a wagon train, it is made up of families who live individually, but are part of a larger community. As an individual or family, you have unique goals, but often as a community those goals are more easily achieved with greater support.

Sandusky, Ohio is a small city that is home to one of the most beautiful  collections of historical architecture in the Midwest.
Sandusky was founded in 1818 and it's population grew quickly throughout the 19th century. During this time German and Irish stonecutters were attracted to the area to fill the city's building needs. Most of the earliest buildings in Sandusky were carved from limestone (which can be found just a little more than a foot below the ground in most sections of town).
When Cedar Point's white sand beaches made it a popular vacation spot in the late 1800's Sandusky's population grew even more rapidly. Industry was attracted by the location on the Sandusky Bay with easy access to Lake Erie. All of these factors caused people to make Sandusky their home. Their architectural styles reflect the cultures from which they came. This lasting influence can still be seen in the buildings of Historical Downtown.
