Many stars aligned to create the incredible, almost impossible circumstances that led to our own Josh Jackson working on rebuilding the roof of the Notre Dame cathedral. A massive 2019 fire destroyed the roof, spire, and some of the upper walls. In the video below, Josh tells the story of how a small, international group of carpenters got the chance of ten lifetimes: to rebuild, by hand, the roof of one of the Western World’s most iconic buildings.
In this video, Josh speaks about the history of this monumental church and the rebuilding efforts through the lense of his own experience working alongside a special group of people. Thanks to the Vermont Humanities Council for the use of the video, and for giving Josh a platform to share his remarkable story.
