Waseca County oral histories

Filed under: History, Shares — Chuck Lucas WHS 1959 @ 3:57 pm

I recently became aware of a Waseca County Historical Society page that may interest you history buffs. It’s a listing of Waseca County oral histories with links to the recordings. You may even be surprised to see your own family members listed as contributors.

The oral histories range from railroads, to wars, to family history and personal recollections. I hope you find it as interesting as I did. Here’s the link:
http://www.historical.waseca.mn.us/genealogy/oralhistory.html.

The page is currently a public page on the WCHS’s paid membership site and is only available to non-members using the above link so take advantage of this now since it may not be available later.

Another thing. As you look at the list of oral histories, think of how great it would have been if your parents, or grandparents, or neighbors, or teachers, or coaches had recorded their oral history for inclusion in the WCHS collection. Is it time for you to arrange for the recording of your or your family’s oral history, or of your recollections of an important event in your life?
