Where were you in 1976? Join us for an afternoon of storytelling as community members share personal memories of the nation's Bicentennial celebration.
Do you have a souvenir from that time period to prompt a story? Whether you have a Bicentennial quarter, a souvenir button, a newspaper clipping, or a photo from that summer, we'd love to hear the story behind it. Museum staff and volunteers will also display special items from our own collection, offering a peek into the everyday stories we preserve and celebrate.
To sign up to share, please send a message to oprfhistorymatters@sbcglobal.net with your name and a photo of what you'd like to talk about in advance so we can plan the afternoon. Each speaker will have up to 5 minutes to share. Join us to listen to some bicentennial memories!
