Update Two - Home
The date is March 15th, 1859. The season is Spring. The current population of the settlement is 122, with 98 adults and 24 children.
Most of the citizens of the progress settlement have settled in and starting going about their new lives. A vote was held on what to build in a designated common area and the people chose to set up a public market. This Market has become the center of activity in the new town and has attracted traders from afar.

Farther down a few people have made homes near the site of the original camp.

The waterfront will no doubt become a busier area once a proper landing is built.

A couple members of the Progress expedition have decided to settle outside of the town itself.
Marshal Thibodeaux opted to construct a small cottage and farm along the river downstream from the town.

John Harding built himself a hunting cabin in an open clearing north of the town.

After the first round of claims the settlers decided to draft up a new map showing the property holdings in the town.

Community Poll: Build docks or expand street network?
Building a dock will allow for more trade while expanding the street network will open more land up for settlement in the town.
The next entry will catch up with the settlers in the Summer of 1859.
