Would you like to hear someone tell you about working in the American Thread Mills? Are you curious about the Willimantic Train Station? Do you think an aging WWII veteran might tell you about the Battle of the Bulge? How traumatic a story could we hear about being taken from tropical Puerto Rico and transplanted in mid-winter Willimantic? All these are possible if we ask and collect these stories. Many of the people who lived or worked these important threads of life in the Windham/Willimantic CT area won’t be able to share them much longer.
Frog City Stories, a project of the Willimantic Public Library, needs your help! We can train you to be an interviewer; the recording of these fascinating stories is simple. We are also looking for volunteers to help with editing the stories in preparation to upload them to an online, searchable archive. Do you think you would like to learn to use an editing program? If you want to be a part of this endeavor to save and share the special stories that makes the Windham/Willimantic area unique, then we want to hear from you. On the Frog City Stories contact page you can sign up to volunteer.
This would be great community service for high school Capstone/Senior Projects, or for Communications and Library students. People with a love of history are sure to find stories that resonate with them. Call, stop by, connect online. Willimantic Public Library Frog City Stories, Help Wanted – Volunteer today!
