About the Winton Hills community.
The Winton Hills community, like many others, has faced numerous challenges over the years, including disparities caused by racial, economic, and environmental discrimination. Residents have experienced the affects of these disparities firsthand, from limited access to resources to inadequate healthcare and almost zero engagement in the surrounding farmland. However, The Winton Hills Historical Society is committed to making a positive impact on these disparities through community engagement, education and reconnection to our food systems through building community gardens, and preservation and promotion of the area’s rich agricultural history through a physical community history timeline.
