Tykocin Synagogue
The team drove through Tykocin on the drive into Belarus. Tykocin hosts the oldest preserved synagogue in all of Poland (Built in 1642). Although a short stop in the grand scheme of the trip, the restoration of the synagogue provided foresight into the nature of the work that was to be conducted in Belarus.
