The Story Project
Have you ever said, “I don’t care about history, that’s not about me,” and then found out what your grandfather’s occupation was, or learned about an inspiring leader who lived in your neighborhood? These stories are often far more relevant to audiences than they expect. This area is a remarkable place, and we are excited to bring new stories to light.
Important stories told by individuals with special connections to our heritage areas
NOTE: THIS PROJECT WAS CARRIED OUT UNDER OUR PREVIOUS NAME, “FOUR RIVERS HERITAGE AREA,” BETWEEN 2018 AND 2022, FUNDED BY TWO MARKETING GRANTS FROM THE MARYLAND HERITAGE AREAS AUTHORITY. WE HOPE TO RECEIVE FUTURE FUNDING TO EXTEND THIS REMARKABLE PROJECT. Executive Director, Carol Benson, said: The entire enterprise of the heritage area has been developed to share people’s stories. Grant projects, large and small, aim to “unearth” important stories and share them with a greater audience. All our activities are all designed to help our stakeholder organizations and attractions “get the word out” to more people and to explain how the visitor experience will be deeply resonant and relevant for them.
