StoryCorps in Vermont
Vermont Public hosted StoryCorps, the national oral history project, in downtown Brattleboro from July 5-August 2, as part of its 2024 Mobile Tour.
The StoryCorps Mobile Tour partnered with Vermont Public to record and preserve the stories of Vermont residents and preserve them in the Library of Congress during a residency in Brattleboro from July 5 - August 2, 2024. Since 2005, the StoryCorps Mobile Tour has brought loved ones together for thousands of meaningful conversations about the things that matter most.
Recorded live at The Stone Church in Brattleboro, enjoy some of the stories that Vermonters shared in StoryCorps' mobile recording studio and a surprise visit from StoryCorps founder Dave Isay. Dave shared details of the first StoryCorps recording he facilitated.
StoryCorps is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people. And locally by Landmark College and Road Scholar.
