Discover the people and places of central Pennsylvania through the lenses of local residents.
Our Town features the heritage and spirit of local communities as told by its citizens. Residents use their video cameras to show the personalities and places that make their town special.
WPSU also works with communities to produce Our Town: The Kids’ Cut, which puts the editorial power into the hands of middle school students.
The series has highlighted almost fifty communities in the WPSU coverage area since its debut in 1996.
