Are you someone who's always telling about “the old days”? Did your grandparents tell you stories of the their youth? We'd LOVE to hear your stories! Add your voice to the history of Hadley Township!

We are seeking people who would like to share their Hadley Township memories with the HADLEY ORAL HISTORY PROJECT. Interested persons may meet a representative of the project at the Hadley Mill Museum on Thursday June 18th or Thursday August 20th between 4:30 and 8:00 p.m.

The Hadley Library is leading an effort to collect Oral Histories in Hadley Township. The mission is to collect stories and memories of Hadley Township to preserve them for future generations by interviewing current and past residents. The interviews are recorded and then transcribed to create a written document.

Participants come to the interview session with subjects in mind that they want recorded. The subject and content of the interview is entirely of the participant’s choosing. However, the interviewer may ask questions for clarification. Once complete, the interview is not edited. Eventually the audio and written transcripts will be available at the Lapeer District Library for public access.

The overall project is being coordinated by Julie Oparka of the Lapeer District Library. This project started in 2025 and already 30 interviews have been conducted. Contact information: Julie Oparka, (810)797-4101 or [email protected]. Or come and meet a representative of the project at the Hadley Mill Museum on Thursday June 18th or Thursday August 20th between 4:30 and 8:00 p.m.
