This summer, volunteer storytellers came together to capture the essence of the Penns Valley area with video, images, and memories for the 89th production in the Our Town series. Watch as they share stories about The Grange, Old Gregg School, farms, monuments, artifacts, art, divining for graves, and so much more, and find out what makes Penns Valley a GREAT place to live.
