This video is in part of our 3D Digital Field School initiative. Nine Natchitoches high school students are learning to document buildings with drones, make 3D tours and collect and edit video histories over a couple weeks through this program. It is presented by the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT) and Northwestern State University’s Advance Remote and Geospatial Operations (ARGO)/Remote Systems Science and Technology (RSST) initiative.
Jason Church, chief of technical services for NCPTT, and JD Cox, NSU instructor, are teaching a two-week summer field school in the Jackson Square area of Natchitoches, where participants are gathering data on historic buildings like Asbury Methodist Church, the Morgan Hotel and other important structures. The area was once a populous Black neighborhood with churches, businesses, cafes, boxing clubs and juke joints.
In this rendition, the students speak with Edward Ward, who grew up near the Asbury United Methodist Church and has been a long running member of its congregation. He goes on to talk about his fond memories at the church, the history of the congregation, as well as its hopes for the future.
