"Ken Burns lives just where you might imagine. The documentary filmmaker, who
has spent a lifetime exploring American history, long ago made Walpole, New
Hampshire his home, a bucolic village founded before the American Revolution.
It’s dotted with old inns and quaint shops, and democracy is practiced there
the old-fashioned way, through the traditional Town Meeting.
He dwells in an 1820s farmhouse ringed by rolling hills and green valleys, a
place of “magnificent isolation” where he can apply uninterrupted focus to his
work. On a recent summer afternoon, he ascended to the vaulted loft of a barn
on his property to discuss, over Zoom, his latest series for PBS, the
Emmy-nominated
The U.S. and the Holocaust. “I won’t work on a more important
film,” he declares."
