A Dramaturgy Blog for OUR TOWN at TTS

Edit map Our Town Locations created with ZeeMaps

Here is an interactive map created by assistant dramaturg, Ben Falk, that pinpoints each of the locations discussed in Our Town. Take a look!

To navigate the list of pinned locations (instead of aimlessly clicking around) hover over the "View" tab second to the left and then click "Show List" second down the drop-down list. We have as a reference point the approximate location of Grover's Corners were it to exist. The coordinates Wilder gives have also been pinned, just outside of New Hampshire on the Massachusetts coast. The pins have the line with the location mentioned and its page number in the description. Each location has the initials of the character who mentions the location in parentheses next to them. They are not exhaustive is regards to which other characters are associated to those locations but it was neater to restrict it to direct mentions only. That key is:
