Leavenworth, Washington, is a mountain town that once thrived on both the timber and railroad industries. But economic hardship struck when the railroad tracks were rerouted away from the beautiful town. This led to the closing of the local sawmill, further distressing the community's residents. While many left, some residents decided to stick it out and search for a new identity. Today, Leavenworth is a bustling replica of a historic European Bavarian village, and it attracts millions of tourists.
