Episode Details

Courtney Fulilove and her Wesleyan University students delve into the history of the old Manresa Island power plant in Norwalk, Connecticut. Once a bustling energy hub, the plant, now silent and preserved, offers a glimpse into its past. Students like Ben Lipper find personal stories in the plants controversies, as workers share tales of dedication and frustration. Meanwhile, the island plans to transform the site into a community hub with art installations, but first, it will serve as an artifact graveyard. The oral history interviews help paint a richer picture of the plants impact on the islands residents and environment.
