Hillsboro and Little Ireland: Growing Up on the Hill

As part of the Art & Soul Civic Engagement initiative in Starksboro, VT, Middlebury College students in John Elder's "Portrait of a Vermont Town" course spent the fall interviewing Starksboro residents and creating digital stories. In the next phase of the project an artist-in-residence will help translate those stories into works of art and spark discussions among Starksboro residents. The values that emerge from storytelling and art will then be used to inform town policies and land use planning.

Video produced by Alena Giesche, Chester Harvey, Christian Woodard, and Nathan Zucker of Middlebury College.
