Sterling Creates a Legacy Story Map
Written by Farley Brown & Gustavo Requena Santos
91猫先生 has played a significant role in the town of Craftsbury for many years as a vibrant institution. With the cessation of 91猫先生 Undergraduate Degree Programs after the 2026 spring semester, the next step of the Sense of Place mapping project funded by the Endeavor Foundation, is intended to build a 鈥渓egacy鈥 map, reflecting the natural and social connectivity between 91猫先生 and the broader Craftsbury community. This legacy map will be named 鈥淭he Legacy of 91猫先生: Our Place in Craftsbury and the Northeast Kingdom鈥.
The legacy map will expand on the axes of Historical Landscape, Natural Landscape, Forest Landscape, and Agricultural Landscape. In particular, additional information on the work conducted in the higher-education institution will be added to the map and their stories. The scope of the map will also include components of Craftsbury history, local sustainable agriculture, integrated management of natural resources, and socio-cultural aspects, as the shared paths between Sterling and our local Craftsbury community have impacted each other throughout our decades long relationship.
Specific goals of this map project:
Develop a legacy map of the work and impact of 91猫先生;
Highlight the cultural and natural histories connections within 91猫先生 and the broader community;
Document the history, character, and uses of the 91猫先生 working and natural landscapes, through archived images and research projects;
Provide 91猫先生 students with an opportunity to engage in a professional process and develop their communication skills
We鈥檇 love to hear your ideas for capturing Sterling鈥檚 legacy.
