American Narratives:
A two year project to capture
stories of ordinary Americans
doing extraordinary things
Simply put, we will be taking 17 journeys over the next two years to meet the folks whose stories we will share,
first on social media and in the Fall of 2025, through our publications.
While on those journeys, we hope to be sharing our visits and travels with upper elementary students so they can come along with us, ask questions about those places, and see those sites as best we can portray them. We look forward to sharing their views and queries.
We continue to look for ways to connect our travels to schools back home. If you are an educator that is interested in discussing the possibilities with us, please email us.
Won’t it be nice to read something positive for a change?
OUR UPCOMING JOURNEYS
November 5th to 23rd
With the limited time we have to travel in November, Trip #8 will be a bit shorter. After picking Jaybird up in Shepherdsville, KY, we will spend a night there before heading into Tennessee to visit Nashville and Memphis. Then on into northern Mississippi for a stay in the center of the state and visit some of the state parks there. After seeing the Atlantic & Pacific, getting our toes wet in the Gulf of Mexico will be next at the bottom of Alabama before heading up to Huntsville and learning about our space program. Back through Tennessee again and then across North Carolina to Rocky Mount and our last campground. Jaybird will spend December in Greenville, NC and we will head home, stopping at our friends, the Hochs, on the way up north.
If you know of someone doing good things in their community within a day’s drive of our path, let us know and we will connect with them. Use our contact form or send us an email with their name and info so we can plan a visit soon.
