Tell Us Your Story
As Idaho prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the America250 in Idaho Task Force would like to hear from you! In partnership with the Idaho State Historical Society and TheirStory™, a remote oral history platform that helps communities collect, preserve, and engage with the audiovisual stories of their members, the America250 in Idaho Commemoration hopes to collect as many memories, experiences, and stories from Idahoans as possible.
Please respond to only one prompt question per recording session and limit your recording to three minutes.
