Book and Video Projects

Part of the focus of P.A.S.T. is recording as much information on the history of our county from the perspective of those who lived it in order to preserve this information for educational purposes. We want to access as many of our older residents to glean interesting information about their lives, people around them and their knowledge of the stuctures familiar to them.

Video

One of these projects is a video recording oral histories. We hope not only to have an archive of information about the county, but to produce one or more videos about various sites in the county with vintage and current photographs.

Book

Another of our projects is to produce a book about the homes and structures on the first five years of the tour. This project is still in the works, but is getting closer to print. The book is in its second editing session and is hoped to be out in 2005.
