Preserving the Heart of America - One Small Town at a Time
Small towns hold America's most precious stories. The diner where three generations have served coffee. The main street that survived the Great Depression. The families who stayed when everyone else left. These stories are disappearing, and we're fighting to save them.
Our Mission:
We create documentary videos that capture the unique charm, rich history, and natural wonders of small towns across America. Each place we visit reveals incredible stories of resilience, community, and the American spirit that shaped our nation.
Why This Matters:
Every small town we lose takes with it irreplaceable history. The stories of hardworking families, local heroes, and communities that built America deserve to be preserved for future generations. We believe these towns bring people from all walks of life together around shared values and common dreams.
What We've Accomplished:
9 towns completed
14 Videos
1.3 Million Views
980k People Reached
Our 2025 Goals:
Document 5 small towns.
Create a permanent archive for future generations.
Upgrade equipment to honor these communities properly.
Host screenings that celebrate local history.
The Reality:
We invest $700-1,000+ of our own money per video because we believe these stories must be told. But we can't do this alone.
