Collection SummaryThe Winifred Oral History Project, conducted over a period of three months, delightfully highlights the lives of five people from the Winifred area. They discuss their families and their occupations, past and present, which vary across the board from construction to ranching, horse raising, cattle buying, feed lot management, beekeeping, rodeoing, and to operating a guest ranch in Central America. Their life stories were recorded and transcribed to be held in perpetuity in the archival collections of the MMP and Montana Historical Society.
The interviewees are connected to each other as family, friends, and often as schoolmates, but they are most strongly tied together by the land and often mutually tough experiences living in rural Montana. Their backgrounds have molded them to develop strong work ethics and endure many hardships, and through it all, survive and thrive.Contributing InstitutionWinifred Museum
