• Voices of Dixon

  

  Oral Histories from the Embudo Valley

  Voices of Dixon is an oral history project featuring voices of residents of Embudo and Dixon. From 2002 to 2004, local farmer and writer Harvey Frauenglass recorded interviews with 14 community members. The voices span the time period from the 1920s to the present. Summaries of these interviews are presented here for reading or downloading.

  What was Dixon like in 1932? What was the Brooklyn Cottage Hospital and who do you know that was born there? Stories of Dixon, old and new!
