Windows to the Past 

     Windows of the Past is an immersive educational program that explores local history through a series of curated “windows”—visual, interactive, and narrative snapshots that illuminate how people lived, worked, and evolved across different eras within our community. Each window serves as a portal to a distinct moment in time, allowing participants to experience history not as distant facts, but as living stories shaped by real human experiences.

     The program weaves together guided storytelling, artifact analysis, multimedia presentations, and hands-on activities to help learners connect modern life with the cultures, innovations, conflicts, and traditions that shaped our town as it exists today. Through these windows, participants witness the progression of society—from the town’s earliest beginnings to industrial growth, from cultural transformation to modern technological change.

     By the end of the experience, learners gain a deeper understanding of how the past informs the present. They begin to recognize recurring patterns, appreciate diverse perspectives, and develop a stronger respect for the community and its ongoing journey through time.

      Windows of the Past invites participants to step through each window with curiosity, reflection, and a spirit of discovery. We encourage you to get on board and become involved. Whether you have an artifact, a family story, or historical knowledge connected to our community, your contribution matters. Share your history and insights with neighbors, visitors, and audiences across the United States and beyond, helping preserve and celebrate the story of our region for generations to come.
