Abstract
The authors of this commentary discuss the need for creating new stories and critically engaging with current representations to amplify diverse histories, stories, and meanings within rural places. With rural Maine’s identity deeply entwined with iconic representations of pine-covered landscapes, we wanted to take a closer look at dominant forest narratives and specifically examine the narratives at the Maine Logging and Forest Museum at Leonard’s Mills in Bradley, Maine.
