Adirondack Community: Capturing, Retaining, and Communicating the Stories of Who We Are is a multi-year local history project that collects and organizes audio stories and related photographs from Town of Keene community members. Visit us at myadirondackstory.org.  People have been surprised that we have been through so many catastrophes here in the Town of Keene. Each time the community has come together to help each other. This is Part I of catastrophes and community reaction, focusing on water.
