Clayton Stories

Oral Histories | Interviews | Biographies

The city of Clayton is partnering with OASIS and Sunrise/Clayton on the Park to encourage residents and business owners to recount their experiences in Clayton. A trained OASIS volunteer (retired media professional) will work with and interview everyone who wishes to record their stories and memories. It's an important legacy for informing and educating others. Taping will take place in a comfortable setting at Clayton on the Park. Participants will have a copy of their Oral History, and a second copy will be provided for the Clayton History Society's collection. Excerpts may be selected for our website and a future History of Clayton book. The cost for both tapes is $50.

Call OASIS at 314-367-5700 to schedule a taping time. Please join us, as we capture and celebrate the details of daily life in our community.
