Many Americans assume that rural communities are endangered and hanging on by a thread - suffering from outmigration, ailing schools, and overused land. But that perception is far from true in many areas.
Crossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America's rural population became a minority of the country's population and the ripple effects that occurred.
