Waterville, Maine, USA
Waterville's strong French roots and rich cultural history were long unrecognized by inhabitants. Local historians wanted to bring the town's francophone past to light and honor their ancestors' contribution to the development of the town and its industry.
Their collaboration with The Museum in the Streets became the basis of an annual Franco-American Festival.
