Stowe Speaks
Oral histories of long-term residents
The Stowe Historical Society has partnered with Fourfold Legacy Services to bring you Stowe Speaks, an oral history project dedicated to preserving the story of our past from those who lived it.....right here in Stowe, Vermont. Over 40 interviews have been completed and are listed below. If you are interested in listening to a CD, please contact the Historical Society by calling 802-253-1518 or email us. Our list of "interviews yet to be done" is a long and ever-growing one! Below are the names for the completed interviews but please let us know if you have a suggestion to add, or if there are any corrections to the information.
We are also very fortunate to have Alice Dana Spencer helping to coordinate our efforts with Stowe Speaks, a project to capture as many oral histories as we can arrange, keeping their stories on CD, (and now digitized and available for streaming) for others to enjoy and from which to learn the rich history of our ever-changing town.
