Oral history interview with Palma Wilson
Williams J. Oral history interview with Palma Wilson
This is a transcript of a tape-recorded interview with Palma Wilson. The interview begins in the park headquarters with Wilson discussing her years in the park as lead park ranger (1984-1988) and chief ranger (1988-1990) and the development of the interpretive program. The interview continued with Wilson’s opinions about the challenges facing her successor and her views about what makes Harry S Truman National Historic Site a unique unit in the National Park System. Palma Wilson ends with a discussion in the living room, foyer, and music room in the Truman home much as if she were giving a guided tour of these areas of the home.
