Abstract: Stuart Parnes, Executive Director of CT Humanities, makes the following mention of the Hartford Heritage Project in his editorial on "place-making" in CT: "In one example close to home, the Hartford Heritage Project, a program at Capital Community College supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, makes the city of Hartford an extension of the classroom. Students study and experience Hartford's history, literature, communities, and culture by getting out into the streets of their city. The lesson to be learned is that there's a unique power that comes from sharing our stories right where they happened."
