Memory Project
+
The Muskego Public Library (with the support of its active Friends of the Library group) and the Muskego Historical Society are partners in an ongoing oral history initiative called The Muskego Memory Project.
The purpose of this oral history project is to record the family and local histories of the people of Muskego, and surrounding communities, before their irretrievable memories, stories and voices are lost forever. After recording, the histories will be archived for use by family members and historians.
For additional information, including recording appointment times and locations (the Muskego Memory Project is now "mobile" to accommodate those who are not able to come to the library), please contact Bill Larsen at the Muskego Historical Society, 262-662-3484 , to make an appointment for your place in history.
