Project Overview

In the second phase of an oral history project, Life in Lake Sarah, four additional residents were interviewed and recorded. The recordings were transcribed along with two earlier interviews. The six recordings were compiled in booklet form and added to the permanent collection of the Murray County Historical Society.

The project documents the history and evolution of life in Lake Sarah Township in Murray County. Personal accounts complement and add meaning to the dates and facts of formal written histories. The collection is available in booklet form or on CD at the Murray County Museum.
