Stories of Southern Oregon
Southern Oregon is rich with stories, generations of stories from families who have worked in the forests, mills, fields and enterprises this place. The Stories project documents Southern Oregon's heritage with family histories, celebrating our shared cultural traditions. The Stories of Southern Oregon project is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities Common Heritage award and extends the heritage preservation model developed for earlier grants awarded to Southern Oregon University by the Oregon Heritage Commission, the Rogue Valley Winegrowers Association, and the Erath Family Foundation. Harry & David was an early sponsor contributing MooseMunch, a generous gift that drew in the attention and appetites of many Stories participants.
