Lake Placid, NY
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2022
Project Category: Developing projects based on residents' priorities
Description: In the Adirondacks, vital stories risked fading from memory, leaving older adults isolated and younger generations disconnected. John Brown Lives! launched the Freedom Story Project, collecting dozens of narratives, mostly from people age 50-plus. The group installed a Story Shed at John Brown Farm for on-site recordings, created podcasts and launched a website to share stories widely. Educators are now using these narratives to foster civic dialogue and empathy. "The recognition that comes with the telling of one's story can be very validating and healing... the quiet power of these stories can provide a non-threatening opportunity to grow socially and emotionally," said the executive director.
