Started in 1998 - 13 years recording the Life Stories of Lyons Pioneer families. Restart project 2015. Goal to Publish Book of Tales
We offer occasional stories about Lyons pioneer families. Learn tid bits about town structures, families, schools, and more. Who was the first grocer? Who planted apples on Apple Valley Road? Which 5 bldgs. were used as post offices? -- We hope to get enough donations to transcribe our 70 interviews into a book, for easier research.--In the meantime, we will soon have available for viewing all the video-taped interviews at the Lyons Redstone Museum. Also available for sale is a documentary on the history of Lyons, as told by pioneers and experts (almost 2 hr. long), and a DVD on the geology of the area's famous Lyons sandstone, with experts/maps/interviews/aerial views and more. (see Museum or Visitor Center or email us).
