Old Town Plaza
The first open square in Forever Wonder, where the town meets.
Eight homes moved a few streets over so the old town could have a square. Now it has paving, a fountain, shade trees and benches, and news is shared here first.
Bronze Age towns grew around open spaces like this one. People came to trade, settle arguments, hear announcements and see each other.
Ever wonder?
Why did old towns build squares at all?
Before newspapers, news travelled by word of mouth. An open square was where a crowd could gather, hear a crier and pass the news on. Markets and courts often met in the same place.
