Description:
A slide show prepared for a history conference on the general topic of transportation...this is the story of an Episcopal Church ( in Fincastle) that started a renovation project of a mission church ( in Eagle Rock) and of the wonderful community they found there... It offers a nice example of collecting oral histories, encouraging preservation of a nearly abandoned building, and offers inspiration for re-purposing and reviving rural communities. ...Also touches on youth ministry, segregation, integration, canals, railroads, and nineteenth century industrial development.
