Crisscrossing Space and Time: A History of Farm Fencing (Louise Abbott)
This is the first feature documentary ever produced on farm fencing in the Eastern Townships. It features numerous Townshippers, including Allan Bachelder, John Rhicard, Graham Neil, and Marion Phelps, and Townships locations from Sawyerville to Stanbridge East.
It also showcases the music of talented Townships musician David Vachon. The 55-minute video is sometimes touching, often humorous, and always informative as it traces the evolution of farm fencing from the "snake fences" and stone walls of settlers in the nineteenth century to the barbed-wire, woven-wire, and electric fences in use today.
"Crisscrossing Space and Time" reflects the central role that fencing plays in the lives of farmers and of their livestock - livestock that now includes alpaca, bison, elk, red deer, and wild boar, along with cattle and other traditional farm animals.
"Crisscrossing Space and Time" was produced by Louise Abbott and Niels Jensen of Rural Route Communications, a small multimedia production company based in Ogden . The DVD sells for $20.00 and is available at the Missisquoi Museum.
