A Look at the Past - Oral History Interviews
Over the years, the Cambridge Historical Society has conducted oral history video interviews with long time residents of Cambridge and Jeffersonville, VT. An oral history interview captures a first person perspective of what it was like to live during a particular time and the interviewee's personal experiences and thoughts on events. It is a wonderful way to preserve a piece of our history.
We will periodically post different interviews here, so please check back. Enjoy!
