Farmers' Voices Oral History Workshop
Sponsored by the Groton Grange and Freedom's Way
Farms have been an integral part of the New England landscape for centuries. Increasingly they are threatened by worldwide economic factors and development. Attendees learned about FWHA's Oral History project, and heard long-time resident George Kirk speak about his experiences as a New England farmer.
A second Oral History event is planned for September.
