Wanted: Memories, Anecdotes and Salty Jokes

Calling all hotel guests, bell-hops, chambermaids and entertainers! The Catskills Borscht Belt Museum Oral History Project is open for business. Bring a loved one to our newly built recording booth and share with us your memories from the golden age of the Borscht Belt era.

We are also seeking volunteers to help us run the recording booth. Requirements include good listening skills, daytime availability, and a passion for preserving the rich history and vibrant memories of the Borscht Belt.
