Oral History Collection
The Montague Center Oral History Project seeks to enrich the lives of older adults by building connections through storytelling and engagement with younger listeners and to preserve stories about Montague Center– past and present.
By collecting, preserving, and sharing our oral histories, we aim to transmit knowledge from one generation to the next, while facilitating meaningful interactions between people. We will enhance our understanding of the past by illuminating personal experience while strengthening relationships between community members, creating a cohesive and connected community fabric.
