#museum30 Day 30: Storytelling
Hello, this is Michael McMaster, Education Programs Coordinator at the Wood County Museum. Storytelling is a large part of what I have been doing at the museum now going on 20 years. In that time, I have given programs to over 40,000 Wood County area students, teachers, and adults. A great inspiration to me, through these years, has been Wood County’s premier storyteller, Charles Evers. Evers was born in Wood County on July 22, 1837, an important turning point in this county’s history. In Evers’ youth, the Great Black Swamp had already begun to be drained into memory. Late in life, from the memories of his childhood, Evers preserved the stories such as the Stoga and Devil’s Holes and lost children miraculously found alive wandering in the swamp. Charles Evers, however, is most remembered for being the owner of the Sentinel newspaper in Bowling Green from the 1870s through 1884. As newspaper editor, Evers published the tales of the aged pioneers whom he knew and interviewed. In 1897, when the Biographical Record of Wood County, Ohio, Volumes 1 and 2 were published, it was Charles Evers who wrote the first eleven chapters of Volume 1, telling the histories of the townships and towns of early Wood County. Late in life, Evers began compiling his old newspaper vignettes into the book The Pioneer Scrap-book of Wood County, published in 1910. The Pioneer Scrap-book has provided me a wealth of information about Wood County. To become a great storyteller, Charles Evers must have been a good listener as a child. Although the programs I give last for only about 30 minutes, I always arrive early and stay late to listen to the questions and stories from my audiences. Sometimes the most important part of my job is not the program that I give, but the listening I do afterwards. To become a great storyteller, like Charles Evers, one must first become a good listener.
