Garden City Oral Histories

Mission: The Finnup Foundation, in accordance with the values and interests of the Finnup Family, desires to preserve the historical accounts of the people and events of Garden City and Finney County.

The interviews and videography for this project were made possible through partnership with Life History Services. We’d also like to thank the Finney County Historical Society for their partnership in this project.
