SUMMARY:Crossroads: Change in Rural America
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBIT at Oceanview DE \nFREE TO THE PUBLIC \nOpen Weekends\, Sept. 10 – Nov. 12th \nFridays\, 6-8pm \nSaturdays\, 10am-4pm \nSundays 1-4pm \n(Parking available at 32 West Ave. or on Oakwood Ave. No entrance off Central Ave.) \n“In 1900\, about 40% of Americans lived in rural areas\, By 2010\, less than 18% of the U.S. population lived in rural areas. In just over a century\, massive economic and social changes moved millions of Americans into urban areas. Yet\, only 10% of the U.S. landmass is considered urban. \nMany Americans consider rural communities to be endangered and hanging on by a thread—suffering from brain drain\, inadequate schools\, and a barren\, overused landscape. Why should revitalizing the rural places left behind matter to those who remain\, those who left\, and those who will come in the future? Because there is much more to the story of rural America. \nCrossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America’s rural population became a minority of the country’s population and the ripple effects that occurred. \nDespite the massive economic and demographic impacts brought on by these changes\, America’s small towns continue to creatively focus on new opportunities for growth and development. Economic innovation and a focus on the cultural facets that make small towns unique\, comfortable\, and desirable have helped many communities create their own renaissance. The future is bright for much of rural America as small towns embrace the notion that their citizens and their cultural uniqueness are important assets.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nSee a video preview of the exhibition Crossroads: Change in Rural America\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition Contents:\n\n\n5 free-standing exhibition units with photographs\, text panels\, and objects\nvideo monitor\n1 free-standing touchscreen interactive computer kiosks featuring video and audio content\n1 outdoor banner\nExhibition support materials for state and local coordinators\nSupport publications include: promotional posters and postcards and docent handbook\n\n\nALL COPY AND PICS FROM THE WEBSITE: https://www.sites.si.edu/s/topic/0TO36000000aR1sGAE/crossroads-change-in-rural-america
