Restoration Stories focuses on the animated and dedicated enthusiasts behind a variety of preservation, restoration and revival projects happening in the United States today. The program profiles the ordinary people who keep these remarkable and sometimes unlikely objects, ideas and traditions alive. Restoration Stories, hosted by award-winning travel photographer Bob Krist, takes viewers beyond the boundaries of the traditional how-to program. The first segment recounts the re-birth of the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway in Maine. Next, Restoration Stories profiles David Coffin, a performing actor, musician and historian, who introduces grade schoolers to the world of Baroque music. Then, meet Nelson Barden, whose masterful restoration of two vintage symphonic organs ingeniously combines the elements of two instruments in a story where preservation meets technology. Finally, Charleston, S.C. resident Glenn Roberts' mission is the repatriation and restoration of heirloom grains from the antebellum south.
