Join us at Historic Oak View on August 12 at 2 p.m. for an oral history program that teaches participants about the history of the subject and its relevance to Oak View and U.S. history. Free and open to all ages, but best suited for elementary-age children, and includes an interactive oral history activity that involves interviewing.

This program will take place indoors in a climate-controlled space and involves minimal walking. Accessible entrances are available, if needed. Your program leader will meet you at the park's front desk a few minutes before the program begins.
