LAVA Center launches community history website

Home » Blog » LAVA Center launches community history website

January 30, 2022

“Despite a snowstorm postponing its in-person launch event, Local Access to Valley Arts, better known as The LAVA Center, officially unveiled its ECHO Greenfield website Saturday, which features historical resources and projects about the city of Greenfield.

“Accessible at echogreenfield.org, the website is a collection of various community projects and historical contributions from both professional and amateur historians as they search for the lesser-known histories of the city and people of Greenfield, while encouraging the community to get involved in their own research. The ECHO project, which stands for Exploring and Creating Histories Ourselves, kicked off last summer with several events exploring the history of Greenfield, including ties to the Underground Railroad and Indigenous peoples’ stories.”
