About Waterville in Sight
This website is the product of Colby College's American Studies class, "Interpreting the American Built Environment." Throughout the semester, we have studied different techniques for interpreting the built environment and applied these methods to the Waterville landscape. Our goal here is to offer our collected writings to the broader communities that populate and interact with the environments that we have explored. You can request the course syllabus from Ben Lisle (bdlisle [at] colby.edu).Waterville in Sight
