Local History Proposal

I grew up in the small, quiet town of Plymouth Maine. I have chosen the Village Store as the place that sums our town up the most. The village store is a small, friendly, unique and country like place. People go to the store in the mornings to catch up with friends and enjoy a nice hunter’s breakfast. While checking out you are greeted by a friendly cashier who knows almost everyone in town. The Village Store sells fishing and hunting gear which many people in Plymouth do.
I am planning to make my presentation on a slideshow. I am going to use pictures of the store and compare them to pictures of Plymouth as my first source. By comparing the pictures I will be able to show the similarity between the Village Store and Plymouth. For my second source I am going to find old articles from the newspaper that show what kind of a town Plymouth is and then compare it to The Village Store. For my last source I am going to interview people about the Village Store and find their perspective. This how I plan to present my Local History Project.
