cummington

In the Hilltowns of Massachusetts, one community is spending the summer spotlighting how it ended up in the national spotlight – showcasing the refugees it took in during World War II. As WAMC reports, while “The Cummington Story” is more complicated than a wartime film made it out to be – the truer story is just as much a point of pride.

A celebration of all thing’s river-related brought locals to Cummington, Mass. over the weekend. The hilltown played host to its first-ever “Riverfest,” complete with tributes and tours centered around the waters that flow through it.

There are now 55 state-designated cultural districts
