Oral History Project
Buckhead Heritage has conducted its first ten oral history interviews in our effort to identify, document, and maintain oral histories of this rich and diverse community.
We intend to record stories of Buckhead told by those who lived them so that future generations can have access to the knowledge and culture that preceded them.
If you have stories worth telling or know someone who might, please contact us at info@buckheadheritage.com.
