Actually, I probably do have hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of years of history in my own backyard, we just don't have much laying around from the Native Americans that tells it.
Well, you don't really see that my town is more than 1,100 years old, as it was completely destroyed in WW2. So you don't find many builidngs that are older than 60 years.
