ORAL HISTORIES

The Henry County Historical Society has amassed over 100 oral histories of citizens of the county.

If you know anyone that is not on the list below that you think would be a great person to interview for an oral history, please let us know!

We are desperately in need of interviewers and transcribers to help us with this project. If you feel that you have some time to contribute to the Society, please contact us.

We will be happy to provide you with the needed equipment and give you instructions on its use.
