Kaw Valley Voices

The Heritage Alliance is very interested in the connections between and among people, place, and time. Descriptions of some of our endeavors are listed below.

Kaw Valley Voices One of the first projects KVHA embarked on was to collect oral histories of people who have lived and farmed in the valley. Stories were collected and a traveling exhibit was produced in preparation for the 1998 Rollin’ Down the River Festival. Audio recordings have been transcribed and may eventually find their way into print.
