Crossroads: Change in Rural America

Crossroads: Change in Rural America

Changes have transformed rural America—and West Virginia—throughout the last century. What are some of these changes, and what have they meant for rural life? Why and how do people work to preserve and support their rural communities? What is rural life like today, and how are rural West Virginians shaping their future?
The West Virginia Humanities Council (WVHC), the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, is sponsoring a special West Virginia tour of Crossroads, an exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services (SITES) as part of their Museums on Main Street program (MoMS). WVHC has sponsored several MoMS exhibits over the last two decades, connecting twenty West Virginia counties with Smithsonian resources.
Crossroads will travel to seven West Virginia communities from August 2021 to June 2022 and is available only through WVHC. Sites are selected on the strength of their submitted applications including the narrative, appropriate display space, proposed ideas for local programs and exhibit(s), and geographic location. Please stay tuned for content related to the upcoming exhibition!
