BECAUSE WE’RE STILL HERE (AND MOVING)
WALKING & TEXT TOURS
History is the people’s memory. Too often that memory is lost beyond telling when the landscape of recorded history and monument ceases to express those stories. This map reminds us that, despite constant obstacles, these residents created their own institutions and their own community “out of what was possible and free.”

Text Message Tours
How It Worked
University and town policies over the century and a half have often contributed to the loss of the land and structures that marked this community and gave institutional life to its memories. We partnered with a cell company to create what we called a “text message tour.” Call the number, input your site #, and a text message described the hidden history at your feet.
