We are collaborating with History Chip to collect stories that democratize history by preserving personal stories from diverse voices. The stories shared will be safeguarded in History Chip's archive, ensuring they can be read by future generations—grandchildren, researchers, and individuals 100 years from now—offering a genuine window into our present lives. Whether recounting family traditions, cherished community moments, or favorite hiking trails, every story helps build a richer narrative of Connecticut's identity. If you want your story in this archive, Jean McGavin, of History Chip, will be in attendance to assist you.
If you would like to share a story, sign up by sending an email to ctstorytelling234@gmail.com. First come, first served. Let us know if you want your story to be in the History Chip archives.
