Let’s Share Our Stories
To everyone: We have the tools to capture stories and share them online. Let’s give it a try. At the very least, please write on the back of the family photographs.
The Glencoe & District Historical Society is recording stories that help the younger generation understand how they got here… whose shoulders they are standing upon.
If you need some inspiration, check out YouTube. There are sad stories; happy stories, and wise stories. We are recording OUR stories. Stories told by our people, young and old.
