Many people who live in rural areas and small towns are struggling to preserve a way of life that is in danger of vanishing. These people have interesting stories to tell. The Rural Stories Project began with the goal of sharing these stories with the world. Using the internet to spread word of creative and unique people and projects in rural areas and small towns, the Rural Stories Project is building a network of people interested in rural issues, a network that can inform and support people working to improve their communities.
