On May 4th, 2015, the SJCHC documentary crew, led by Tim Chivalette and Ian Angotti, headed out to Martha Furnace with Budd Wilson to film the second half of Budd’s Tale of Two Towns. We have already filmed Budd’s discussion of Batsto. Now Martha is complete. All we have to do is edit the entire documentary. We hope to make good headway on this over the summer.
