Created by Juniper Creative Arts in collaboration with youth apprentices through BCA’s Artist Apprenticeship Program, this mural was inspired by research, conversations with local experts, and archival study. It reflects the Barge Canal’s complex environmental history, its often-overlooked cultural past, and the possibilities of renewal when nature is allowed to thrive. Paired with audio stories captured by Vermont Folklife, the work reminds us that while the past cannot be changed, the future can be one of healing and hope.
