Reinventing Farming depicts the new crops, farming methods and distribution approaches that small farmers in Connecticut’s Northwest Corner are using to keep farming alive amidst climate change, industrial farms and large supply chains. Our project includes:
* six 5-minute issue-based videos;
* an exhibit of changing farming implements, including photos of local farms over time;
* four moderated panels with local farmers and agriculture teachers.

Medicine has been a part of Sharon since Dr. Simeon Smith arrived in 1756 to focus on the controversial smallpox inoculation and on the professionalism of medical practitioners. Our exhibit, Sharon Cures, will look at three still-relevant 21st century medical controversies through the lens of time and local stories. Advancement in vaccination, immunotherapy and physician gender equality are evident throughout Sharon?s history, with two local doctors making significant national contributions.
