This project will engage with long-time residents to capture memories about the “early days” of Deep River & Area. It is a fun and easy way for our seniors and elders to “give back” to this community by sharing their knowledge / memories about this area and its unique history!
Here’s how it works: Each week, we will email participants a question about the “early days” in Deep River & area. Questions are designed to be fun and trigger memories! Participation is easy: all you have to do is hit “reply” to our emails and share your memories with us. This would be a great project for grandkids & grandparents or children & parents to work on together!
Your reply can be as short as a few sentences, or as long as you like. If you don’t feel like answering a question, then you can simply choose not to reply that week. Also, you can unsubscribe from our emails at any time.
Memories will be compiled into a “living book” of memories that grows with time. The library will make this “living book” available to current and future generations to inform our collective understanding of our area’s early history. Please, help us add YOUR family’s chapter!
