The New River Gorge National Park and Preserve has announced the availability of oral history recordings on their website. These recordings feature residents and others with intimate knowledge of the park and its surrounding region. The public can now access these recordings for both listening and downloading directly from the park’s website.
The oral histories provide a unique and immersive insight into the history and culture of the New River Gorge area. They feature personal accounts and stories from individuals who have lived in the area, worked in the park, or have a deep connection to the region. This initiative aims to preserve the rich history of the region and make it accessible to a wider audience.
The New River Gorge National Park and Preserve encourages the public to explore these resources. The oral history recordings can be accessed at the following URL: https://www.nps.gov/blue/learn/news/oral-history-recordings-made-available-to-public-on-new-river-gorge-npp-website.htm. This initiative is part of the park’s commitment to preserving and sharing the cultural heritage of the New River Gorge region.
