Oral history
Interview with Kathy Snyder who recounts moving to Detroit, Oregon in 1964 when her father began working for the highway department and reflects on growing up in a small logging and highway community where neighbors supported one another and many buildings had been relocated from Old Detroit after the dam’s construction. She also describes how the 2020 Labor Day wildfire destroyed her home and much of the town, highlighting the profound changes the disaster brought to the community.
