Attention History Buffs
Do you know a woman who worked for CF&I Steel? Does your house have an intriguing past?
A couple of things regarding local history that you might be interested in:
1) Bessemer Historical Society has started an “oral history program focusing on the experiences of the women who made the steel industry.” Contact Jay Trask, 719-564-7742 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or Virginia Frazier at 719-948-2514. The flier emphasizes that they want to hear ALL the stories of CF&I’s women. The website is here. My father worked with a couple of women who had started at the mill during WWII. Unfortunately, I think they’ve both passed on.
2) HighNoon Productions wants to know “Does your historic home have a story to tell? Have you renovated a historic home and made startling discoveries? If so, we want to talk with you.” They’re doing a program that will appear on HGTV and the application information is available on their website. The reward is a “great room makeover.”
Some interesting projects that look like they’re worth supporting.
