Today we are celebrating the 50th interview of the year! Our Oral History Project at Will Rogers has been such a success. We had the pleasure of interviewing Gloria Fletcher for our 50th interview, and got to hear about her childhood in Tupper Lake, her adult life in Lake Clear where she lead 4-H for 10 years, and her 35 years in Potsdam, where she enjoyed riding horses and camping with her husband Douglas. Thank you Will Rogers and thank you Gloria! April 19, 2018
Historic Saranac Lake collaborates with Will Rogers to create the Oral History Project at Will Rogers. This project aims to document the lives and stories of the residents at Will Rogers. With three weekly interview sessions, each resident will have the opportunity to tell their story. These interviews will be archived with Historic Saranac Lake's oral history collection, and will be used to aid the Will Rogers biography project. March 4, 2018
