In continued celebration of Women’s History Month, our first Passport Pick this week is Songs to Keep: Treasures of an Adirondack Folk Collector, an original production from Mountain Lake PBS!
Marjorie Lansing Porter tirelessly recorded folk songs that were on the brink of disappearing throughout New York’s Adirondack Mountains. These songs are now being preserved in a new way for future generations to enjoy. Their efforts invite you to uncover the legacy of American miners, loggers and other folks who lived a hundred years ago, who together created a treasure chest of Songs to Keep.
Be sure to also check out these supplementary materials including videos and articles about the film:
