Forever Told: Forever Kept

McHenry County College - IL, Illinois

Forever Told: Forever Kept is an oral history project involving elders as the storytellers and teens who paint the murals based on the recollections of older adults. The project is based with the Northwest Area Arts Council in McHenry County, northwest of Chicago. The teens are from local high schols and McHenry County College while the storytellers come from McHenry County Retired Teachers Association and a group called Memory Makers.
