Happy Labor Day! 

Today, the video's host, Dave Stotts of Drive Thru History, takes us through the history of why we celebrate this holiday and gives us a tour of some of the original sites for the Industrial Revolution in the early days of America!

This is a most pleasant way to look at our past.
