[URBANTH-L] QUERY: Bavarian Villiage in Leavenworth, Washington (Rae Bridgman)

[Angela Jancius]

From: Rae Bridgman <bridgman at cc.umanitoba.ca>

I'm looking for information about Leavenworth, Washington and its "Bavarian
Village." In the 1960s, Leavenworth residents decided to transform their 
town
into a Bavarian Village---they have festivals and daily re-enactments. The 
town,
which was declining, is now a successful tourist destination. Can anyone 
refer
me to articles about Leavenworth, or has anyone done research in the town? 
Many
thanks.
