Lives on the Land: An exhibition highlighting the stories of Westport’s farming families
This exhibition focuses on the 20th century, an era that began with 400 farms and ended with fewer than 30 farms. This is not just a story of potatoes, cows, turnips and chickens, but also a topic that connects people of diverse origins — Portuguese, French Canadian, Polish, Scots, and early English settlers — as well as highlighting an extraordinary example of a farm owned and operated by a Native American family throughout the 19th and most of the 20th century.
