Oral Histories
The following is a partial list of oral history interviews with residents of the Casa Grande region. The purpose of the collection is to preserve the history and heritage of Casa rande through the social and community memories of those who experienced life in the region as longterm and lifetime locals.
The interviews are held in the archives and are recorded on cassette, DVD, CD, and other formats depending on the period of collection. Previews of the transcribed interviews are linked below. Not all interviews have been transcribed, but most are available for review by appointment.
If you are interested in a particular interview, please contact the Historical Society.
Our thanks and appreciation goes out to the families who have contributed to this invaluable collection. We hope you enjoy the stories and discover hidden treasures. We continue to collect and preserve the stories of Casa Grande and welcome invitations for interviews.
