The Huron County Museum & Historic Gaol is launching a new community oral history initiative designed to help preserve local stories, memories and lived experiences. To support the public in documenting their own histories, the Museum is hosting free workshops that will introduce participants to oral history project planning, interview techniques, recording basics, and ethical guidelines. Whether you’re working on a community project, building a family archive, or just want to interview your grandmother, this session will give you the tools and confidence to start.
