Young Historians at Work:
Merced High School Oral History Project
Thursday, February 28, 2013

The Merced County Courthouse Museum will present the “Young Historians at Work: Merced High School Oral History Project” exhibit beginning Thursday, Feb. 28, at 5p.m. Merced High School 10th and 11th grade history students will showcase their skills in oral history with photos and sound bites at this joint exhibit between Merced High School and the Courthouse Museum. The photographs will show interview subjects, family memories, and students at work. Uncovering rich local history and family history is the goal of this project, as well as connecting history lessons in the classroom with history lessons through family members. At the opening reception, Merced High School Jazz Band will kick off the show at 5 p.m. and the young historians will present a PowerPoint presentation about the oral history project at 6 p.m. The exhibit will run through April 14, 2013.
