Douro 200th Anniversary

📖 Introducing the "Douro Folklore Collection"! 📖

Drawing on our strong tradition of storytelling and taking inspiration from the Irish National Folklore Collection of the 1930s, we are excited to launch this new initiative tomorrow night.

Douro is a unique place, with strong connections to the land, its people, and our shared past. This project helps us protect our special legacy and preserve it for those who will come after us.

We are encouraging people to record stories of local people, places, happenings, legends, and traditions.

Fill in the stories you want to share in one of the “Douro Folklore Collection” notebooks and then return them to us or send a typed version to [email protected]. They will be transcribed for digital preservation, and we hope to publish from the collection next year.

Be sure to come out on Saturday April 25th to find out more and pick up your notebook!
