But if Walhalla was ever going to resurrect itself via modern tourism, the restoration of the town's important historical buildings would have been critical. I would love to see photos of the restored Mechanics Institute (since education and pubs were the most important elements of rural life). Great photo of the brass band stand, by the way.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735358510756084330.post-52984068485013353252018-07-04T10:23:37.333-07:002018-07-04T10:23:37.333-07:00Thanks for this one!

It was also a mining town of old and the small buildings were built according to the old styles plus a museum. It has been a tourist attraction since.
