Description

This Neatline Omeka project investigates the question "How do the people and places within Trevorton add color to it to make Trevorton a Region?” This interactive Neatline map uses archival research and oral history to illustrate the effect of the individual on the town, rather than how a town shapes an individual. The histories and stories in the map illustrate the different parts of the town and what gave the town its color that only people from the inside could see.

This project was completed as part of an Integrated Perspectives Course UNIV 241: Susquehanna Country taught by Prof. Katie Faull and Prof. Alf. Siewers and is included as part of the Stories of the Susquehanna series.
