Throughout the week, Nooga.com will highlight several events that make up the CHA 175 celebration of 175 years of Chattanooga.

A number of unique events are scheduled through Saturday, with a focus on nearly every aspect of Chattanooga’s rich history and our modern zeitgeist.

WUTC-FM seeks stories from the public for a project modeled after the popular Storycorps oral history project.

WUTC’s Michael Edward Miller will be on the third floor of The Public Library downtown Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m. with a mobile recording site.

He is seeking to record memories and stories of life in Chattanooga during the celebration of the city’s 175th birthday.

Many of the recordings will be included in a time capsule to be buried Saturday. Some of the stories will be aired on WUTC-FM at a later date.

The mayor’s office proposed the idea, according to Miller. They’re helping line up interviews with prominent Chattanoogans for the project.

Miller said members of the general public are encouraged to record their stories during the offered hours.

Story ideas include:

How a significant local history event affected you or your family

Changes you’ve seen in Chattanooga during your life

Your happiest memory or best day in the city

What Chattanooga was like when you were a child

Inquiries about the project should be directed to Miller at [email protected] or 423-425-2224.
