Think about this: As the sun sets, casting long shadows over Portland’s ancient streets, the scene unfolds. A little iron ring embedded on the pavement catches your eye. When you pause, you can almost hear the clomp of hooves and the hushed voices of bygone eras. You may now go into the past and see the events that shaped our planet via these rings that were formerly used to tie horses.

Here is where the two worlds of nostalgia and history may come together so that we can really value these seemingly insignificant things. We should treasure the stories that horse rings reveal to us because they show us that our cities are full of secret tales and because they represent the connection we have to our history.
