ABOUT THE PROJECT:

JACKRABBIT HOMESTEAD is a book and web-based multimedia presentation featuring a downloadable car audio tour exploring the cultural legacy of the Small Tract Act in Southern California's Morongo Basin region near Joshua Tree National Park. Stories from this underrepresented regional history are told through the voices of local residents, historians, and area artists—many of whom reside in reclaimed historic cabins and use the structures as inspiration for their creative work.

NEWS & EVENTS:

• EXHIBIT: JRHS at RED ARROW GALLERY in Joshua Tree from 1/14/12–2/5/12. Opening reception from 7 to 10 pm on Saturday, 1/14/12.
• PUBLICATION: photographs from JRHS have been featured in the Fall 2011 issue of BOOM: A Journal of California.
