What better way for a community to come together as everyone works to build a recreation of your historic downtown. This is such a great social experiment in having children and parents working together for a common goal to build a lasting memory of the history of your hometown.
The project typically will take a year from startup to completion based on the number of volunteers willing to put in their time. The plan is the first and most important phase of the project as you have to map out the parts of the town you want to include in the village. That’s a fun part of the project as you should determine first what gets into your village.
Below are just a few of the common subject areas to focus on with your village project:
Take a look at what people have created with these tiny building blocks. Between the videos, we did find a fantastic project right here in New Jersey at the Montclair History Center. They’ve embarked on a major building block project to recreate their historic village with LEGOs alongside a small army of volunteers. We can’t wait to watch the progress and wish them luck.
