Minnesota’s Greatest Generation has lived through some of the most difficult years in modern history. What was is like to be a child during the Great Depression? What were your military or home front experiences during World War II? How did your life change during the post-war years? These recollections are a unique and valuable view of history, and are worth saving.
If you are a member of the Greatest Generation with memories of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, or if you know someone of that generation whose stories you’d like to preserve, the Minnesota Historical Society invites you to record your stories here. Stories and photographs collected on this website will be held indefinitely in a searchable database for the benefit of future generations. To get started, create an account.
