ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
Historic Saranac Lake works to capture the stories of elders in the community to share with future generations. Above, three women who have been featured in HSL's project: from left to right, Georgia Murphy, Alberta Bodah, and Wilhelmina England. Below, Oral History Coordinator Aurora Wheeler listens to interviews in the oral history archive, in preparation for digitization.
Historic Saranac is actively conducting interviews about the people of the Saranac Lake area and their stories and experiences. If you would like to participate, or know someone who would, please contact us.
