“A recorded oral history is more than just a quote on a page in a book.
It is a meaningful story expressed by the person who owns that story.”
-Doug Boyd, University of Kentucky’s Louis B. Nunn Center for Oral History
The Old Davie School Historical Museum is working to collect the stories of Davie residents in order to better
understand our past. We are lucky enough to have the written histories from the
families of the early pioneers, but that only tells us part of the story. Every
memory is important! Residents for 5, 10, or 20+ years, or maybe you rode
horses through Davie before
the new construction, or visited the short-lived Pioneer City attraction? We are looking to share
the heritage of west Broward County and all contributions are valuable to
linking together our past!
By participating in a recorded Oral
History Interview, you would contribute to our exhibitions, programming, and
most essentially, to broadening our town’s history! In return, we will provide a digital
copy and transcript of the interview for you to share with your
family--something important to pass on as the holidays are coming up!
Please let us know if you
would be interested in sharing your story! Contact Kim Stansell at education@olddavieschool.org or (954)797-1044.
