HENDERSON SPEAKS

One of the first projects of HHS is to gather stories from early Henderson residents (1942 to the 1980s). The stories will be used to preserve the history of the area, to enhance library and museum collections, and to provide content for the HHS Website. Stories of Old Henderson will help fulfill the Society’s mission and will provide teaching/learning resources for generations of newcomers and school children. Such resources are invaluable in preserving history and for welcoming new residents and their children into the life of the community. The stories might be about the building of the Basic Magnesium Plant, mining stories, the first buildings in town, Henderson’s Native American past, Henderson schools, growing up in Henderson, water and scathing heat. Henderson Speaks is hoping to involve schools, museum staff, library staff, and community volunteers in gathering and recording the stories of Henderson’s older residents before they are lost forever. Please call and our volunteers will answer your questions and schedule you for a pleasant storyteller’s experience.
