Voices from the Past
Hear the stories of Downtown LaBelle told by the people who lived them. These oral histories and recorded memories bring our downtown's heritage to life in the voices of the community.
Preserving LaBelle's Stories
Every building, street, and oak tree in downtown LaBelle holds a memory. Through our Voices from the Past project, we collect and share recorded interviews, oral histories, and personal recollections from longtime residents, business owners, and community members who have shaped our town.
New recordings will be added here as they become available. Check back soon to listen to the voices that built Downtown LaBelle.
