Why Acworth Became the Pilot
The Door That Opened
The project began as a Monadnock-region preservation concept, but the first active pilot moved to Acworth after strong local response to the aerial and ground-based documentation created there in March.
Acworth is outside the core Monadnock region, but it fits the project’s broader purpose: preserving the visual record of historic New Hampshire town centers and surrounding communities before subtle changes erase the texture of place.
