Naples Oral Histories:
If These Walls Could Talk!
As the community continues to grow and embrace new friends, seasonal or permanent residents, it is vital to maintain a connection with the past. Naples Historical Society is dedicated to preserving Naples history and heritage for the community and future generations to enjoy.
Through generous support from the community and with grant approval from the Board of County Commissioners and the Tourist Development Council, the Naples Historical Society is developing a vital community project: Naples Oral Histories: If These Walls Could Talk!
This preservation initiative focuses on oral histories, or 'slices of life', rather than a chronological history of events. Oral histories represent the telling of a part of the history and heritage of Naples' through stories from the families and individuals who have greatly contributed to Naples (early) growth.
There is no known or organized identification, solicitation, collection, filming and archiving of family stories specifically for Naples. Naples Historical Society believes this responsibility belongs to the organization. The Mission of Naples Historical Society is to preserve the history and heritage of Naples for the community and future generations to enjoy. The preservation initiative: Naples Oral Histories: If These Walls Could Talk! is an important community project, and we would appreciate your help to move this forward. How? Participate in this critical preservation initiative and share your stories of how your family contributed to the development of Naples. Call us today to learn how to be a part of this fully funded program: 239-261-8164 or email us at nhs@napleshistoricalsociety.
