A three-part series at the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center (CSRHC) in Enid called “A.M. with the Archivist” concludes on Saturday, February 8. Each session will take place from 10-11 a.m. in the museum’s Research Center, featuring CSRHC archivist Aaron Preston.
The title for the final session of this three-part series is “The Great Depression in the Cherokee Outlet.” Preston will discuss how the Cherokee Outlet suffered and grew during the worldwide economic downturn. The research is drawn heavily from oral histories of people who lived through it.
In the first session, “Imperialism the 1890s,” Preston discussed the national shift in American ideology in 1890 while examining how these greater notions affected people in the Cherokee Outlet.
In session two, Preston hosted “The Progressive Era: 1900-1929.” The presentation examined President Theodore Roosevelt’s policies and national transformations during this time and how these shifts were borne out in the Cherokee Outlet.
Each session is included with paid admission to the site, and no registration is needed. For more information about the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, please visit csrhc.org or call 580-237-1907.
