Happy birthday, Saturnia. 328 years ago, the SS Revolutionary landed on this small patch of desolate land that if now a booming metropolis. Let's go to the festivities, shall we.

The edge of the water in Old City is the main place where historic Saturnia is seen. The brick road streets are proof of this. Nearest the water was a major port for merchants, but now most goods come from air and sometimes rail. Anyway, old city isn't completely like it was in the 1700s, but it's close in many places.

Historic Saturnia has been well preserved, especially by the National Historic Preservation Fund, which continues to preserve historic buildings in and around many cities, Saturnia included. But to see the original Saturnia, one must go to the Saturnia History Museum, which ranks among the most notable museums in the city.

The museum contains real pieces of houses and ships that docked here as early as the original. Barrels and goods from the original port of Saturnia. Some exhibits that must be seen include: Saturnia 1699, which documents a home constructed in 1699, Saturnia at the Edge of War, which shows Saturnia's role in wars when this country was divided, and The Saturnia that Never Was, which has pieces of information and pictures on projects that were conceived but never came under way.

For the city, today is a day to think about the immense role Saturnia has. In modern times as an economic center, and the early days as a merchant's haven. Even though everything seems like it's completely average, some things around here have major significance, both then and now.
