So, I guess for continuity, can we just have your name and, you know, where you are from? Shamburg: Donal Gustenian Shamburg. Interviewer: And you were born in? Shamburg: I was born on the Supinlick Ridge west of Mount Jackson. Interviewer: Ok, Ok. Can you talk to us a little about your childhood and what you remember about it? Shamburg: Yeah I can talk about that. Uh, when I was a boy at school age… and this will tell you how old I am. I walked to school. About a mile in a one room school house with all the grades but just about one child or two in each grade. The school house is still standing there. Yeah. Interviewer: Growing up in a school like I guess you got to know the kids in your grade. Shamburg: I knew every one of them Interviewer: You knew everyone one of them? Where you ever any good friends with any of them? Shamburg: Yes good friends and the first thing that we learned when we started the school was the multiplication tables. And that is something you will use the rest of your life. Yeah. Interviewer: Did any of the teachers really stick out to you as role models or anything like that? The teachers in the school house? Shamburg: Do what now? Interviewer: Did any of the teachers in the schoolhouse stick out to you? Where there any you really remember or? Shamburg: Well yes. Alright. Our one teacher that come to school early in the morning before the children to make fire her name was Mrs. Good. And course had this big round stove. And she went to go make fire in the stove. What she threw in there caused it to explode and come out on her and that kill her. Our school teacher. That is the one instance yes. Interviewer: What happened after that? �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell Shamburg: Well the superintendent in school would come to the schoolhouses years ago. Now they send somebody else. They would come and we’d would see him coming up the lane and everybody got real quiet, yeah. “ Superintendent’s coming!” “Superintendent coming!” “ Here he comes!” So we watched that very closely. Interviewer: From the article that we were given it said you grew up on Bird Haven or in the area. Shamburg: Alright. I was more towards the town of mount Jackson Interviewer: Ok, ok. Can you describe Mount Jackson a little bit and what you remember from your childhood? Shamburg: Well it had one theatre. Now all the movies was about cowboys. You can’t even get that on television no more. But uh, then…. I’ll tell you the story about the poor lady who walking down the boardwalk. They had a boardwalk. And she fell down. And the lady got up, he laughed at her. And you know what she told him? She says, “What I see of you, mister, you’re no gentleman.” And what he told her “ What I seen of you your no gentleman either.” (laughs) Interviewer: So that was something you saw walking down in Mount Jackson? Shamburg: No I didn’t. Interviewer: From what the articles that we were given it said that your mother worked at Bird Haven. Can you talk a little about that? Shamburg: She worked some at Bird Haven but she worked more in Shenandoah Valley Spring Hotel, which was just a little ways up and she worked there. Because a lot of people from the city came back there in the summer cause it was cooler back there. And they had their own milk cows. They milked them cows and fed that to the people who’d come from the city. Yeah. And my mother worked there a lot. Now we would ride from where we lived at Mccainy back with the lady that worked in Post Office. Yeah Mcrider was her name. But anyhow, then we’d, well the first thing they started making a Bird Haven were toys out of wood. Wooden toys. And sales of them kinda got down then they started making furniture. Little stools and all that kinda stuff. Out of the lumber back there. Yeah. Got dry and then they’d get it in there. And if I remember right it was probably, maybe half a dozen or so men there working there and she worked there some. But most of the time she went up to the hotel. Because the lady that run the hotel is some relations to us. Years ago 3 men come there. One was Joseph Lonas, and the other bother was Jim Lonas and my great grandfather was Sam Lonas. Ok. The one became undertaker and I think this lady’s…I ain’t got it figured out exactly what relations this lady is got but I’m gonna find out if she comes around here today, but any how. The next one up was Jim Lonas and he had a store across the road. That’s when you got bananas off of a great �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell big long thing and then you cut off a bananer so in the store. Can’t imagine that now. And the next one up was my great grandfather Sam Lonas and he was a life stock dealer. So he would hock his horse. All these stories I’m telling you is not when they had automobiles a’buzzin up and down the road but everything was horse business. But he’d hook his horse up to his wagon and take a dog along with him and go cross to Mathias, West Virginia and he would buy a couple head of cattle or maybe a couple turkeys that was good and bring them over to Mount Hermon there. Yeah. That was his business. Yeah. Interviewer: Do you remember anything about Bird Haven? Where you allowed on the premises? Shamburg: Well, since I was small like I say I would go in there but there was one family, Arb was his name and he lived there at bird haven in a house him and his wife. Of course he was kinda the head of the woodwork business too. Interviewer: Can you describe that house a little bit? Do you remember anything about it? Shamburg: No it was just a plain house there. There was nothing modern or anything. Them days you didn’t have a lot of electric in your homes. Interviewer: Did your mother make any friends with anyone there? Shamburg: We were all friends. All friends cause there wasn’t too many there and they all come from around. Yeah. One women that worked there at the hotel, Sally Delootter was her name and she lived way up on the North Mountain but she would come down there worked at the hotel. She had a couple boys and one of them is still living. They’re Delootters Yeah. Of course I would meet with them, you know. Yeah. Interviewer: So you would meet up with them and… What would you do? Shamburg: Play. Play, play ball or anything simple. Interviewer: Baseball? Anything that you? Shamburg: No, that wouldn’t… but I have to tell you this story about the cows. They had nice Jersey cows there and they had a calf. So they didn’t want the calf so I bought the calf off what couple dollars I had, I think it was five dollars to give for the calf. And I kept that calf for a cow. Growed her up. And I still grow cows. Interviewer: When did you first buy that cow? When was that? Do you remember? �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell Shamburg: Uh no, just when I was a little boy or so I’d say, its about… I have this fear of my age now. How old am I? Will you tell me? Make a guess! You think I’m sixty years old yet? ( winks) (points) how about you? Interviewer: I think the paper said 88. Shamburg: (laughs) yeah that’s exactly. Yeah. Interviewer: So that was a while ago. Why did you become interested in farming? Shamburg: Wasn’t nothing else to do. You had a little land and you’d begin to farm. The first thing I raised were turkeys from the neighbor back there. He had a chicken house and he started the turkey and he brought the rest of them over and then I finished them out on range. Then they stopped that now. That is how I used to raise all my turkeys outside. And now they put big buildings up and they’re not ranging them outside. But they would get real pretty out their heads would get real red you know and all. That’s is how I raised 6 kids. Yes. I had 4 girls and 2 boys. And the worst thing that happened in my life is when my wife died. Yeah. That was 6 years ago. The next thing happened: a tornado comes through my farm and torn 400-foot chicken house all to pieces. That was in 2011. But have all my family lives within sight of where we live. My son lives with me and he farms and my other son lives within sight and he farms. Yeah. We keep beef cattle now. Interviewer: When did you start just focusing on cattle? Shamburg: Why did I? Interviewer: No, When. When or why. Shamburg: Well, you could start with cows in a small way. As they produced you could keep their offspring and that would increase your heard. And the males why we’d send them to the market for other people to buy to put them into feed lots to feed them, as they do today. Yeah. Interviewer: I guess since you mentioned your wife when did you meet her? Shamburg: She what? Interviewer: When did you meet your wife? Shamburg: I met her… I’ll tell you when I got married: 1958. But I had met her before because she lived up from Birdton on the Branch Mountain. And people would find out about them up there and they’d go up there and get a girl to come and take care of their children while they done other thing. So that is what she did. And her sister moved down real close to where we lived to take care of some boy �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell that their daddy and mother worked at Rockingham Poultry. So she came down there. Course I went over because I wanted to meet her or just met her and it went on from then. Yep. Interviewer: So you married her in 1958. What happened in the mean time with getting to know each other? Was it a long game or how did it go? Shamburg Well wasn’t anything to do back then but the movies and a lot of the homes in that area didn’t have current. And up at my grandfathers home they had a lot of children, his son did, but they had a building they made a building there and they put sawdust in there. Then they’d go to the back in the winter at Basey, Stoney Creek, and cut ice off that creek, haul it up there and put it in that saw dust and cover it all up in the building and that is where they got their drinking water. Cooled awhile, through the summer next. And it stayed in there a long time too. Interviewer: Was that popular way to do it? To get drinking water during the summer? Shamburg Well if you didn’t have no electric. But the next thing come, and I for worked the man up there in Mount Jackson. They had an icehouse there. They’d get these big chunks of ice and set them on a truck and cover them up and then go on out the road and they give each one of them to families there a sign that they’d put up on the window that said 25, 50, 75. So you’d take the ice pick and go down there chip off so much about 25, carry it into the house, put it in their little thing in the house to hold ice. Interviewer: They had a thing in house to hold the ice not in the back? How would that work? Shamburg: They’d just set the ice in it. Cause they’d know how much they need to use until the next time you come out the road. Interviewer: To go back to Bird Haven, I guess, the toys and everything that they made, do you remember anything about those or how they were built? Shamburg: Well yeah they made kinda nice little toys. Always pretty small, you know. And then when the sales come down then they began to make stools and all kinda different thing put in the house to use in the house. So that’s is the main thing I remember. Interviewer: Ok. Shamburg: Now you want me to do you what to tell you about my first car? Interviewer: Absolutely. Yes �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell Shamburg: You want to hear about that? Think I ought to tell him that story? Shamburg’s daughter (Alessia): No. Shamburg: Oh yeah I’m gonna tell it. Yeah. Cause I’m not ashamed of it. My first car was a 31 Model A ford. And it was second hand, I give 125 dollars for it. And I used it for a while. My grandmother and I would go to see our my relatives from down in Martinsburg cross to Matthias and she would sit in there and I’d go down the road and that boy that old thing was a roaring gemny-wiz cause I wanted to go over and I’d give her hell and the old thing roared but about 60 was it. Yeah. But then… now this never happen but I teased the girls about that. You see it had this big gearshift up in the middle. And I’d tease these girls about that. I’d say “ You know, you want to ride on my car?” And I’d go up them old hills you know and it didn’t want to pull. And I’d pull that thing back in low gear and the hand would slip off that gearshift. Cause you sitting beside of me. You got that didn’t you? Yeah. I thought there would be some girls, sure, who would want to ride in my car! (laughs). Alright, next question Interviewer: So who did you live with growing up? You mentioned your grandmother did she live near you and your mother or? Shamburg: Yeah. I often wondered… but anyhow I’m gonna tell you the story about the three men, the Lonas men. And where they come from I have no idea. But they got a certain amount of land. Each one got a big area of land. And they didn’t have the money to pay for it I know so I reckon they granted them that. Each one and they all build houses on that same road on the land that they got. Yeah, ok. And my grandfather and another fellow by the name of Mr. Will Hepbern decided they had to have some more income. So they decided they were going to walk back to West Virginia in the coalmine country. So they started a’walkin. Can you image starting to walk way back in there. Buckhannon, West Virginia: that is wear they landed. They dug coal a little awhile and said to the heck I cant take that so they just done other things for awhile. But they met four girls. And their last names were Fallons from Buckhannon, West Virginia. Well, when they come home then these four girls come home (with them). One of the girl’s boyfriend had an old car and they must of come home in that car. So my grandfather married one and Mr. Hepbern married the other. And they all lived there then. They’re all dead now. They are buried at Mount Herman church. Interviewer: So when your mother was born did she stay in that area right beside them? What did she do? Shamburg: Well yeah. At McCainy my grandfather, David Shamburg, he built a little store there in McCainy and big house on the other side of the road. And that little ol’ �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell store is still standing there. Cause I use to go there and kinda hug him up a little and get a piece of candy. Do you want a piece of candy? Interviewer: I’m good right now. Alessia Shamburg: Tell them about you growing up, you and your grandma and your dad died. Interviewer: Yeah. What was the name of the store? Shamburg: It was just McCainy. (slides candy across table) Ok. Yeah it was just a county store, you know, and all. The mail carrier Mr. Will Mumal would go to town with his truck and bring mail out from Mount Jackson that come on the train or the bus or anyway they could get the mail to Mount Jackson. They had a train track had a depot in Mount Jackson and that is where they would get the mail. And he’d carry it out the road and stop at each little place like McCainy in there and take the sack of mail in house and they’d open the bag up say” Well, Mr. So-and-So lives here. Well we take his mail out, take his mail out.” And Mr. Mumal he would bring feed and all that stuff from Mount Jackson out. And we would catch a ride back out to Basey, back to Bird Haven. Interviewer: When did your mother first get the job at Bird Haven? Shamburg: Well, after my father died. And she… first place she worked was at Bryce’s because a lot of people would come out of the city to Byrce’s and Orkney Springs were it was cooler in the summer time and that’s when we would start to go back to Bird Haven of course. But she also worked at Bryce’s making beds and all that kinda stuff. For the guest that were coming to spend the weekend back there or something. Interviewer: And then she moved on to Bird Haven? Shamburg: Yeah but she didn’t work long at Bird Haven. Interviewer: How many years? Do you know? Shamburg: Of, maybe… It was off and on. It wasn’t like she come there everyday for weeks and weeks and weeks. She might work there a while and then go to the hotel or wherever they needed her. Interviewer: You keep mentioning the hotel. I guess, can you describe that too? Shamburg: Well it was a big building and it was about 3 floors or 4. And that’s where they feed e’m, on one floor and of course it had rooms on the other floor. That’s where my mother worked there doing that kinda work. And Mrs. Fleeta Ross �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell had to run it and I think that she and this lady here are of some relation. But I’m gonna find soon as I get to talk to her. Because I knew all the people. I can now almost name every family from Orkney Springs to Mount Jackson. Now that’s gonna take awhile but I know there names now. Interviewer: Did you just get to meet them all? Shamburg: Well just anything we done we learnt to know the neighbors. A lot of the neighbors were local names that you could remember. But we had a lot of them moved into Bryce Mountain and built, comes to our church and they had such different that its hard to keep the names, it is for me and for other that associate with them more so yeah. I go to church at Mount Herman United Methodist. It was United Brother till they merged and its United Methodist now. And I live at within site, I can walk to church or ride a bicycle, drive a car. Yep. That is how you learn to know peoples by their familiar name and their relatives. Interviewer: Did the church play a big part in your younger part of your life? Shamburg: Well, let me tell you how long I’ve been agoin’ there: 88 years and 9 months. You caught that, didn’t you? Okay. (laughs) Interviewer: So your mother was a big churchgoer then? She would drag you there sometimes? Shamburg: Yep. Interviewer: So when your mother was switching in-between the hotel and Bird Haven do you know which job she enjoyed more? Which one she would meet more people from? Did like anyone from those place come to your house and eat food with you or eat dinner? Shamburg: I didn’t quite catch your question. Interviewer: So your mother would switch in-between working at Bird Haven and the hotel. Was there a particular one she enjoyed do you know? Shamburg : Well she liked work at the hotel more. Because she worked there more and she was familiar with the owners of it. Yeah. Interviewer: Did you get to meet any of the people she worked with ever? Shamburg: Oh yeah I’d be there. Course I was outside there at the hotel just doing odd jobs: pick up the paper and things that need to be done. Because Fleeta told my mother to bring me along so that I had someone to stay with at the hotel, that is why I was there. �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell Interviewer: So if she was ever working at Bird Haven would you go to pick up odd jobs? Shamburg: No I wasn’t that old. Interviewer: Did you ever go onto the premise or did you stay away? Shamburg: Did I ever do what? Interviewer: Did you ever go to Bird Haven or did you mostly stay away from it? Shamburg: Mostly at the hotel, yeah. Interviewer: Did she ever bring back on the toys or stools or anything like that to play with? Shamburg: Oh yeah we meant to bring one along. Stools and different things. They sanded them down and man they were beautiful stuff. Of course they sold it as they could get money. Interviewer: Do you remember when it shut down? Shamburg : No I don’t recall. I can’t get in my head exactly who bought the toy factory and he resold it then. Yeah. I might think of that here before I get out of here. Interviewer: So when that eventually stopped happened did she start solely work for to the hotel or did she start working on something else? Shamburg: Mainly that was it. Interviewer: And then you got your start in farming from getting a small calf from someone. Shamburg: Yeah. Interviewer: As you got older did you eventually kinda move off and start focusing solely on farm work or did you or anything else? Shamburg: How about repeating that question. Interviewer: When you first got into farm work were you doing anything else on the side? Were you doing any sort of odd jobs or did you see the farming avenue and went with it? �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell Shamburg: Well yes. The first thing I raised were turkeys on range that Mr. Fancler back at Orkney started in his house. And when we sold them they made $1900 and Mr. Ashby Fancler said “ I’ll give you $1000 and I’ll take the $900”. So that started me in the turkey business. Yeah. Then after that I built a poultry house of my own and then it begin to get children and them children helped me inside ‘cause those that were in the house, we’d take and clip the ends of their peaks off a little so they couldn’t pick and scratch feed out. And them children just love that job. They just loved that job. Help debeak them turkeys (Laugh) Didn’t, Alessia? Come on tell it. Shamburg’s daughter: (laughs) Yeah. Shamburg: They had to hand them up to me and the wife and we would snip them off. Well, then we were with working with the next bunch and they sent a couple Mennonite men down. But they would not drive a car so they had to send a chauffer to them down there. Then they come and debeak them. Interviewer: How many children did you have? Shamburg : Only had six. Interviewer: How many brothers and sisters did you have? Shamburg: Just one, just one brother. He is dead now. Interviewer: Did he also get involved in farm worked? Shamburg: Basically there what’nt anything much for a young person to do. If any land came up for sale where I lived for I always tried to buy it cause you could buy it for about 100 dollars an acre. Well, then another person would die and his land would come up for sale so hat is how I got it all bunked together. Then the children they got old and they would begin to get married. They’d give up their Shamburg name and they went with other names. And I give them a place to build their house they wanted to build. I said go up there and just take a piece of land and build. Can’t do that anymore though. Of course they don’t stay at the same place now. Cause years ago when her husband came down to see her he drove a little Volkswagen (laughs). Yep. Interviewer: Go ahead, sorry. Shamburg: But that must have worked cause they still together and they have two children. They live within sight of me, right at Mount Herman Church. They all live right in site. When you get old you start to appreciate that too. They do everything for me they can do. �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell Interviewer: Do you have a part of farm work that you really enjoy? That you like doing? Shamburg: Well I enjoy raising chickens, all of that. Or turkeys. But then when the tornado come through it torn these chicken houses all down. But it didn’t tear the houses up, where they lived. And that evening it was a’storming there. I was out there outside of my house. So I said “Well it’s just a storm I’ll just go to bed.” Went to bed and next morning and why my son call me and said “Dad says you better come up here.” I said “What’s the matter?” He said “Storm tore the chicken house down.” I said “You mean take the roof off?” He said “Hell no! Tore it all to pieces!” 400-foot double story chicken houses. Yep Interviewer: Had there been any other storms earlier in your life that had taken out things like that or was it a first? Shamburg That was about it. But every time they talk about a tornado we pay attention. Interviewer You mentioned your father earlier can you explain a little about him? Do you remember him? Shamburg: Well he had a truck that he could haul lumber or… wasn’t long distance but the logs and the things like that. He’d go up in the hills there toward Morning Star and there were some people up there you had to consider. Because a lot of people went in there selling pots and pans and all that stuff and it was told that some of them didn’t come out. They killed them up there and got the pots and pans and stuff. Can you imagine that? (CAMERA DIES AND INTERVIEW IS RESTARTED) Interviewer: Alright I believe that works. Ok, we only probably have about 20 minutes. If I can get this situated…. Sorry. Just don’t want to stay… okay, that will… that will do. Um, since I guess since you were talking about your father when did your father meet your mother? I don’t think I asked that yet. Shamburg: Don’t know. I don’t recall exactly when it might have been. Well he died in 1936 so it must have been in the 20’s, early 20’s along there. Because them days a lot of their marriages was your neighbor’s daughter. So that’s how that happens. Interviewer: So you grew up during the depression then? Shamburg: Yeah. Interviewer: Did that have any impact on you, growing up, that you know? �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell Shamburg: No. Interviewer: Ok. Were you pretty insulated from it or could you tell its affect? Shamburg: No, I didn’t…. Let’s see. The war. The war started in about 1933. One of the wars we have: we had so many of them, you know, different places. But I think about 1933. But I wasn’t… then it went on till about 1940 couple … and different wars… but that got over with. But I was old enough to be drafted. And since I was in agriculture my neighbor down there he went down to the draft board and told them I lived with my mother and that I was in agriculture and so they give me a small deferment. Then the war ended, yeah. Interviewer: Did any of your friends go over and fight? Do you know? Shamburg: Yes. Down there at the community store at Basey their names were Funkhousers. And Neven Funkhouser, he had a sawmill but then his wife Gladys, she was a Mumal, but she married Neven and they had a good many children. Some of those boys was killed over there and never got back. That was one instance. Yep. Interviewer: So if you go deferred from WWII there was also Korea. Did you get drafted for Korea? Shamburg: No, nuh-uh. no. Yep. Interviewer: I know you didn’t spend a lot of time on Bird Haven, did you know how WWII and the depression affected those areas? Even the hotel, was there a distinct impact? Shamburg: Well since you was young and sometimes we had to walk to work. Back over the ridge there. We didn’t get to go a lot of other place or do other things. Yeah. And your age had something to do. Yeah. After I got older then I got into agriculture. And I’m still in it. Interviewer: Did you have any other interests? Like an interest on cars or anything like that? Did you ever work on cars? Shamburg : Ah any old thing… since my first car was a Model A. Then the next year… well the Model T was first. You had to crank that to get it started. So a lot of people, older men, would go to town they’ get all snuttered up on beer and stuff in Mount Jackson and come out there. This one fellow, Floyd Holman, he pulled his Model T there in front of the country store and he’d go in there a little bit, he’d come out and he’d crank that thing, get it going you know. You had to pull the throttle down and spark up when you cranked it or it would kick you. Anyhow us boys would chuck the back wheel. Well he would get in that thing and he’d kill it. He done that about 2 times and he’d get in there and boy he had that Model T wide open just �Transcript of interview Dillon Broadwell a hummin’. We just slip that old chuck out behind the back wheel and he jumped that thing clean out in the middle of the road. That was our fun. That was our fun. Interviewer: What would you mother or grandmother do for fun? What would they do outside of work? Shamburg: Nu-uh. That is mainly all they done… Interviewer: Sorry, have to think for a second. Shamburg: Seems to me that in my mind Sam Clark bought Bird Haven one time. I think his name was Sam Clark. I might be wrong about that. Interviewer: Who was that? Shamburg: He bought that and resold it. Interviewer: Ok, Ok. Shamburg: So I didn’t, I didn’t know much about Bird Haven. Interviewer: Have you gone up there recently like any time after it was sold? Shamburg: Oh yeah well I drove through. See, they started raising hogs back there. And I’d drive around back there to see these hogs and cattle. They started raising some cattle and they put a big fence around that whole lot of it back there. Yeah. And bought more land too. Yeah. For that place back there. I don’t see how it worked for him because: all woods back there, all woods back in there.

Interviewer: So they would use the hotel building as like a chicken cope? Shamburg: Yeah. Interviewer: So they just didn’t take people any more?

Yeah Interviewer: So you keep talking about livestock. Was there any other crops you would do? Corn, wheat? Shamburg: Mainly corn cause that was your big thing. And you could graze some of it and use any grasses for hay. Yeah. They made years ago they use to haul and cut your hay down, put in on a wagon, haul it in the bar, throw it in the bar. That was taken a lot of labor. Then the next thing that come was a little square baler. Oh that there is wonderful. Well then you had to get that bailed up and get that in to dry. Then the next thing come is the round baler. Round rolls. That’s… then you could set them outside. Of course now a lot of people put’s plapstic around them. You see them white ones sittin’. Yep.

Title A name given to the resource Bird Haven Oral History Collection Subject The topic of the resource Bird Haven (Va) Shenandoah Community Workers Description An account of the resource Sometime in the early 1920s Philadelphia banker and philanthropist William Bernard Clark founded the Shenandoah Community Workers organization near what is now Basye Virginia. This group was designed to provide locals, many of which were economically disadvantaged, with good paying jobs based on their wood working traditions. Clark built a factory on property his grandmother had purchased as a personal retreat and named it Bird Haven Virginia. Initially the community workers focused on wooden toys and puzzles. Many of these featured birds, Hollywood Stars, or animals. Later the company began to produce small wooden furniture, bowls, and kitchen utensils. Bird Haven closed sometime in the early 1960s. Following this, most of the records were lost and much of the site's history was forgotten. This oral history project, conducted as part of a partnership between the Shenandoah County Library, James Madison University, and Bird Haven Farm, is designed to recover some of lost parts of the site's story. It focuses on interviews of 14 members of the Bird Haven community, including several employees and individuals who lived nearby. All interviews and transcriptions were conducted by JMU history students and are available for viewing in person at the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives.

Title A name given to the resource Morrison Studio Collection Subject The topic of the resource Morrison, Hugh Jr. (1871-1950) Morrison, Louis Morrison, James Description An account of the resource In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer. Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives. In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized. This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs. Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public.

D: I probably went down there with my father to bring lumber to the big plainer. It’s the only one in the area. T: So you would bring the lumber to Bird Haven? D: Yes. T: And what did your father do? D: He was working in the woods and was director of the conference center here also. T: Was he a lumberjack of some sort? D: No, he just had a truck and hauled lumber for some folks. T: Oh alright. So you were around fifteen or sixteen, what did you like about Bird Haven? D: Well, it seemed to be a unique place. I did not see much that was going on. I had seen the things that they built, made like bowls, serving bowls and lazy Susans and things like that. T: So you were just interested in seeing how they put it together. D: Yes. T: Were you interested in carpentry at all growing up? D: Not a lot no. T: Just thought it was pretty cool? �D: Yes. T: So you started going with your father at about fifteen or sixteen, when did you start going by yourself? D: Probably sometime after sixteen because that’s when I had a driver’s license and I could get myself there. T: Would you go relatively often? D: No, average once a month maybe. T: Did you go more with your friends or by yourself? D: Usually by myself. T: And what kinds of things would you do there by yourself? D: Well I would basically walk around and look, and I worked in the flower garden for the owners of Bird Haven where they lived. I would pull weeds from the flower garden for them. T: Did they live on the compound? D: They lived on the compound yes. T: So what was it like to work for these people? D: It was fine, it was great. They treated me very well. T: So they were nice people. D: Oh yes, very nice people. T: Was it a very lavish house? D: No, I was never in it except on the porch or something or the kitchen. That’s as far as I was. T: Do you remember the names of the people? D: I think one of them, it was a son or step-son or something was John Gray Paul. And I can’t remember the gentleman’s name and his wife who owned it. I assume someone on the lines’ name was Paul. (soft chuckle) T: What was the stepson like? Was he nice? D: Yes, he was very nice. T: Was he around your age? D: No he was much older, probable twice as old as I was. T: Okay, so I guess you kind of had a job at Bird Haven. �D: I did, just working in the garden. Nothing to do with the woodworking part of it. T: Did you make any friends with some of the other people who might have worked there? D: Well I was friends with some of them. I knew some of them. T: Do you mind telling us about some of them? D: Well they were local people who were good at woodworking. That was their livelihood. And they were very good carpenters. Most of them. And the other folks were just, you know, they went there and learned their jobs and gave them a job and they learned how to do it and went along from there. T: So there were specialty workers and then regular workers. D: Yes. T: So I’m guessing you spent more time watching the specialty workers? D: Yes. T: (looking at table) So would you say that this lazy Susan right here that they hand carved the middle area? D: No I think they had tools to do that, called, like a lathe. They would put the wood in there and, I think they call it turning it with a sharp instrument and a sharp instrument would do those things for them if they held it in the right place. It would do those things for them. T: But someone had to make all those designs and stuff. D: Yes, exactly. T: That’s really cool. Were you even interested in doing that yourself or did you just like to watch? D: No, I was not interested in that. I knew I couldn’t do it then so. T: Were they older people doing this or were they around your age? D: They were older people, older folks. T: Did you ever see any children or people around your age at Bird Haven as well? D: Well now and then there would be someone there but I don’t recall who they were or what they were doing. I knew them most of the time, they were neighborhood people. T: Were they also neighborhood people going there for fun, just to check it out? D: I think they probably were children of parents who worked there. �T: And they were just there with their parents? D: Yes. T: So with this job that you had, did that cause you to go to Bird Haven more or did you just go for this job? D: I think I just went for that job basically in the summertime. Not much in the winter time. T: So just once a month to pick weeds? D: Probably more often than that. I can’t quite recall but I think it was more often than that. T: So you would go sometimes for the job and sometimes just for fun? D: Yes. T: So you grew up in this town around here is that correct? D: Yes. T: What were some things that you would do for fun around here? D: Well there wasn’t a lot to do. When I was growing up, all the kids were boys so we played baseball a lot, football, things like that. That’s about all. Hiked in the woods, played in the woods, things like that. T: That’s cool. So did any of your friends ever come with you to Bird Haven? D: I don’t recall that they did, no. T: Were there any other places like Bird Haven that you would also visit? D: No, there was nothing else in the vicinity like that. T: So the very first went to Bird Haven with your father, what was your first impression of this place? D: It was a pretty neat place. I thought a lot of people worked there it seemed to me. I have no idea the number. T: Did you ever think that you would work there at all? D: No because I was too young at the time. By the time I was old enough it was closed down. T: Did you have family that worked there at all? D: An uncle, that’s all. T: And what did your uncle do? D: I think he sanded a lot of the products when they were through. �T: So would you say he was more of the artisan type or more of a worker? D: I would say just a worker. T: Do you remember what he thought of Bird Haven? D: Well, basically I think he thought of it just as a job, which was hard to come by close to home then. And that it, he just thought of it as a job. T: Okay that’s fair enough. So what did your parents think about Bird Haven? D: Well they thought it was great for the community. It let the folks in the community work. T: So Bird Haven kind of created a bunch of home decor types of things. D: Yes, they created salad bowls and bigger serving bowls. All wood about that shade (looking at Lazy Susan). I think they were made of maple. They were all about decorating the home and make things to serve food out of and eat out of. T: So did people around this town really rely on Bird Haven for these things? Did they buy a lot of the goods that Bird Haven sold? D: I think they did, yes. And they had a shop where you could buy. T: On the compound? D: Yes. T: Did you ever go into that shop? D: I probably did but I don’t recall anything about it. T: So they made a lot of bowls and tools around there, was your father suppling a lot of the lumber that they used for these products? D: No, when he went down there with lumber, it was for his own use or for a neighbor who wanted something done and he would just haul it down there for them. T: So when you say for his own use or for his neighbor, he wouldn’t sell the lumber to Bird Haven he would just use the machines that they had? D: Yes, I assume they charged for it, I don’t really know. T: So what kinds of things would your father make with the wood? D: It was basically for construction, building construction. I don’t know that he made anything else. Basically just for the building. T: So I guess he would just be getting a full tree trunk into… �D: Lumber, yes. Like weather boarding for the side of a house. Things like that. T: Was the wood maple also that he would use? D: No probably it was oak or pine. T: That grows a lot around here? D: Right. T: So did you ever get into any trouble at Bird Haven? D: No, I don’t recall that I did. T: That’s good. Not even with the family? D: Right. T: So the family that you worked for liked you? D: Yes, that’s correct. T: So what would you say was maybe your favorite memory of Bird Haven? D: I don’t know, I guess just being there and um, when I went there for work, just to have something to do. To make a little money. T: Did they pay well? D: I guess they paid the going rate of that time. T: So did you ever get to go inside any of the factories at Bird Haven? D: No I don’t recall that I did. T: So how would you view inside them? D: There were windows or an open door or something like that. T: And you would just stand there and watch? D: Yup I would just stand there and watch. T: And nobody minded? D: Nope, no one seemed to mind. T: Did anyone ever come up to you and ask you what you were doing there at all? D: Nope, they didn’t. T: Would you say it was busy there? Like were there people moving around a lot or was it just kind of people doing their jobs. D: No just a lot of people doing their jobs. �T: So could you maybe tell me what Bird Haven kind of looked like? Could you describe what you saw there? D: Well, there was a large, long buildings divided into rooms where they did different jobs. One of them was a post office and one of them was where they put them together and one had the tools in it to make them in the shape they wanted and one was where they stained them and put the finish on them and I guess one of them was where they packed them off and mailed them off to the folks who had ordered them. T: So it was just one building? D: I remember it being one long building being divided into separate spaces. T: Okay. So I heard there was a toy building at Bird Haven. Was it attached to the long one? D: I’m sure it was, but I don’t recall. I don’t know. T: Do you remember any other features that might have been at Bird Haven? D: No, I don’t recall. T: So how would you usually get to Bird Haven as a kid? D: Usually I would be riding with someone, and when I worked in the gardens usually they (the owners) would come pick me up and take me and bring me home. T: How far away was that drive would you say? D: I think it’s about two miles. Two and a half maybe. T: That was pretty nice of them to do that. D: Yes, it was. Sometimes I would ride my bicycle. T: Yah that’s not that far. D: Yes, that’s right, not too bad. T: Especially in the summer in the mountains. D: Yes, that’s correct. T: So you started dating your wife at the time is that correct? D: About then when we were in high school yes. T: Did you ever bring her down to Bird Haven? D: I don’t recall that I did. I don’t remember that. T: Where would you usually go with her to take her out somewhere? �D: I would usually go see a movie in Jackson or Woodstock. T: Oh like decently far away, like by driving? D: Yes, by driving. About fifteen or twenty miles away. T: So your father was involved in the lumber/ resort business. Did your mother have any jobs? D: No, she did not, she was a stay at home mom. T: So what did your father do at the resort? D: He was the director. T: Of the whole place? D: Yes, of the whole place. T: Wow, that’s a pretty big job. Did you ever help him out with the resort? D: I worked there until I got out of high school and went to work for the telephone company and then I became the director in 1988. T: Of the resort? D: Yes, I moved back home in 1973 and became the director in 1988. T: That is very cool. D: Yes, we enjoyed it. T: Did people from the resort know about Bird Haven? D: They probably did in the early days yah. But after it closed they didn’t know much about it. T: When Bird Haven did close, how did you feel about that? D: Well, I don’t believe I was here then. I believe I was out on my own, either in the military or working away from here. T: Did you ever stop by it after it shut down? D: I was there sometimes yes. T: So what would you say was your favorite memory of Bird Haven? D: Probably seeing the people do their different jobs. T: What was your favorite job to watch? D: I guess the people using the lathe. That intrigued me. T: Did you ever get into wood working after seeing these people? D: No, I didn’t. I got to play around with it a little in high school, that’s all. �T: So your uncle worked in Bird Haven too. How close would you say you were to your extended family around this time? D: How do you mean? T: Were you close with your uncle? D: Yes, I was. T: So he just looked at Bird Haven as a 9-5 job? D: Yes, I believe he went to work there right out of high school. I don’t know how long he worked there but he eventually moved away and worked somewhere else. T: Was it the same type of work? D: No I think it was a different type of work. T: So you never really thought about working there correct? D: Yes. T: Was there a reason for that? D: Well I wasn’t old enough and by the time I got out of high school then I left for the military and after that it was closed. T: So it wasn’t because of anything about Bird Haven it was just bad timing? D: Right, yes. T: So Bird Haven was “different” from other factories. D: I think so, yes. T: Did you notice anything that kind of seemed different from what you’ve seen either before or after? D: Well, there was a lot of hand work, it wasn’t really all that mechanized. T: That’s interesting, anything else? D: No I don’t think so. T: Did the people seem any different? D: No they were all basically local people who knew each other. They got along fine. T: So it was just like people from around this town? D: Yes, from the community. T: Was this one of the communities where everyone seems to know each other? �D: Yes. T: Even if you weren’t close, did you know anyone who worked there? D: Yes, I did. I knew a lot of people who worked there. T: Do you remember anyone in particular? D: Well there were a couple of men who seemed to be the supervisors who were really good woodworkers who knew how to do most anything with wood and they worked there most of their life I think. They were much older than I was. T: And they lived around here? D: Yes, well they lived in about a 10 or 12 mile radius. T: Did you ever talk to them? D: I knew them, I talked to them but not a lot. Just in passing or something. T: So besides giving people jobs, how else was Bird Haven important to the community? D: Well, I guess they thought a lot of it. It was a neat place to go and they let you walk up and down the road that was there and look in the buildings and see what was going on. They didn’t object to that. T: So people would go down to Bird Haven? D: I’m sure they would. Not regularly but they would drive down there and see what was going on. T: You included I guess. D: Yah, right. Me included. T: So learning about Bird Haven, we heard about some other people talk about some almost paranormal things about Bird Haven like the river that ran through it had like magical powers. Did you ever hear of something like that? D: No I didn’t hear about anything like that. T: Yah apparently some people thought that… D: Well most of the water in the wells down there was iron water and there were a lot of springs with different kinds of water with different minerals in them. A lot of folks felt that it was good for you. T: Iron water, is that safe to drink. �D: Oh yes…I think so. T: Is that where this area gets its water from? D: Yes, well it comes from springs around here. T: So besides Bird Haven, was there other places you would visit around here? D: Well, no not particularly. T: So when you came back to this town, did you notice any changes that occurred here after Bird Haven closed? D: No, after it closed I think a lot of folks had to get new jobs. Of course that means a little more travel for them. They would leave a little earlier and get home a little later. T: So people still lived here. D: Yes they did. T: Was there any major migrations of people out of this town? D: No there were not. T: So people still stayed here. D: Yes, people still stayed here and traveled to their occupation. T: So did you ever hear people say anything negative about Bird Haven? D: No I have not. T: What about some positive things in particular? D: Well, people thought what they were doing was worthwhile and as long as people were buying it they were doing something that was needed. T: So people you would say liked their job there? D: Yes. T: So we mentioned that there were craftsmen that worked there. What were some of the jobs that the non-craftsman workers would do? D: Well sanding and putting the finish on the finished product. I assume they packed them up to be mailed away and probably sawing them to the length or the shape they wanted them in. T: So the craftsmen would be the ones to put the whole thing together? D: Yes, yes I’m sure they had a pattern or something to go by so that…or maybe they made the same thing all the time I don’t know. �T: That makes sense. Did you ever check out the toy section? D: No I didn’t do that. T: Did you ever see any artists around or people drawing at Bird Haven? D: No I did not. T: So did the people ever recognize you at Bird Haven when you would go down there? D: Yes, I think some of them probably did. T: Would they say hi to you? D: Yes. T: So it was friendly. D: Yes, very friendly. T: Would they ever give you anything like a souvenir? D: No I don’t recall that I ever got anything from them. T: So about this supervisor family that you worked with, do you mind telling us a little bit more about them, if you remember? D: Well, what I remember was that they were local people and they were very good woodworkers. T: So did they ever do any of the crafting at Bird Haven? D: I’m sure they had a hand in it some way or another. How to put it together and how to make the parts work together and things like that. T: So they weren’t like the owners were they? D: No, no they were not T: So they were like managers watching over? D: Yes, that sounds right. T: Did you ever meet the owners of Bird Haven? D: I assume I did. The people who I worked in the gardens for they were the owners then. I don’t know if they were the original owners or not. But they were the owners then. T: The gardens? D: They owned the gardens and the factories. T: How big were the gardens at Bird Haven? �D: Probably 20x20 or 30x30. T: So was it like a house garden, or was it a place you could walk through. D: Just a big flower garden. They had all types of flowers. T: That’s pretty interesting. D: With paths you can walk through it. T: So it was like a factory but it had this nice scenic area. D: That the owners had yes. T: Could workers go into the flower garden at all? D: I don’t recall seeing any of them there, no. T: Were you the only one that was in charge of its upkeep? D: Well I wasn’t in charge of its upkeep I was just employed there. I was the only one there when I was there. I don’t know if anyone else worked there or not. T: But it was basically just you cleaning up the flowers. D: Yes, correct. T: How did you like that job? D: Well, at the time it was okay. I didn’t mind. I was young and you worked on anything. T: What kinds of flowers did they have? D: I haven’t the faintest idea. T: That’s understandable. So would your father, when he was doing lumber work, would he get the wood himself or would he buy it from people? D: He would usually get it from local folks. People who worked in the woods and saw mills to make the lumber and saw the lumber. He would usually get it from them. T: So was he into construction? D: Not really, it was mostly for repair of the buildings around where he worked. T: The resort correct? D: Yes. T: Could you maybe tell me a bit about the resort? D: Well, part of it was build right after the Civil War. The Shrine Mont, that part of the conference center was built in 1925, so both of them have been here for a long time. It was �always for warm weather, usually opening the first of April and close the end of October. And the springs were the drawing crowd, like we spoke about the water. There was a lot of springs around and they were supposed to be good for you so they had water around where you could drink it. It was supposed to help you. T: That’s pretty nice. So being a child there, what kinds of things would you do for fun around the resort? Or were you mostly helping your dad? D: I’d help my dad some. Well they had a golf course one time and I would caddy on the golf course for some of the folks. It was a pretty crude golf course but it was exercise. And they had a small bowling alley. I had to set the pins by hand. They didn’t have automatic pin setters. T: Was that your job? D: I did that now and then. T: That’s fun. So did you get paid for it or were you helping your dad? D: No I got paid for it. Actually, the bowling alley was contracted out. Somebody else ran that and I just worked for the folks who were managers there at the bowling alley. They paid me. T: That’s a nice addition to a resort, a bowling alley. D: Yes, it was. Of course they don’t have that anymore. T: Oh really? They got rid of it? D: Yes, a long time ago. T: That’s a shame. D: Yup. T: So did you ever have goods from Bird Haven in your own home? D: We have some. T: Growing up I mean. D: Oh yes we had some. Yes we did. T: I’m guessing bowls and other stuff. D: Yes. T: Did you ever have any of the toys? D: I don’t recall having any toys. T: I know they made puzzles there, did they make any other sorts of toys? �D: I think they probably, I don’t know if you could pull or push around or move. Just like the kinds that could sit on a shelf for decorations. That’s what I think they were. I don’t really recall but that’s what I think they were. T: That’s probably the easiest thing to make as a toy. So did you ever see any very young children running around Bird Haven? D: No, I don’t recall seeing any young children. T: Did you see any children at all? D: Not any young children. Maybe twelve or teenagers would be about all I see. T: Would you ever talk to them? D: Oh yes. From the community, we were friends. T: Did you ever hang out with them at Bird Haven? D: No we never hung out there, for one reason or another we would be there but we would never hang out as like a group. We just happened to be there at the same time. T: Would you ever ride your bike there with them or walk back together? Or would you just kind of pass them and say hi? D: Just kind of pass them and say hi. T: Okay. Would you ever hang out with them in this town? D: Oh yes, we were around all the time. We would do things. T: So you would maybe play a baseball game? D: Yes, like play baseball. T: Did you have a best friend growing up that you would spend a lot of time with? D: Probably one of them here that I would play baseball with all the time who was a little older than I was. He happened to be the closest neighbor at the time. We hung out together. T: Do you remember his name? D: His name was Richard Funkhouser. He’s deceased. T: Did he ever go to Bird Haven? D: I don’t recall seeing him there. T: So would you ever spend any days during the summer helping your mother out? D: Yah, we had a pretty large garden. I worked in the garden with her. �T: You’re a bit of an expert on that. D: Yes, yes. (chuckles) They thought I was but I really wasn’t. T: How did you end up getting the gardening job? D: I guess the folks down there probably knew my dad and knew that I was around here and wanted to know if I wanted to work a couple days a week or something like that. T: And you enjoyed the job correct? D: Yes, yes I did. T: What other sorts of jobs that you had at this time? I know you worked in the bowling alley and the gardens. D: That was about it. And I would mow lawns for folks around here. Usually not for pay just for something to do to keep me out of trouble I guess. It gave me something to do. T: That’s nice. That’s very good of you to do. D: Yes, thank you. T: So you’re a teenager with a bit of money. What would you buy with this? Did you save it up for something big, or did you just kind of… D: I just kind of spent it on things that I wanted. T: Do you remember any of them? Like any fun purchases that you made? D: No I don’t recall any right now. I wasn’t saving for anything like an automobile or anything like that. Probably saving to buy a bicycle. And to buy baseball gloves and bats and those things. That’s all. T: That’s fun. Those are good summer toys. Did any of your friends have jobs as well? D: Yah they worked at the resort doing different jobs. Some of them I think were dishwashers and busboys and probably working on the golf course too. T: So what did you enjoy more, the bowling alley job or the gardening job? D: Probably the gardening job because I got to work outside. T: How are the summers here? Does it get too hot? D: No, not for a very long time. It might just be two or three really hot days and then it cools off. T: Because were in the mountains I would think it would be pretty chill D: Yes the mountains definitely helped. �T: So during the winter, it’s harder to go outside and do these things. What were some of the other fun things to do around here during the winter? D: Just go sledding when it snowed around. As you can see there are a lot of hills around so it wasn’t very hard to find a place to slide. T: That’s a lot of fun. So people still worked at Bird Haven during the winter time I’m guessing. D: Yes. T: Would you ever go down during then? D: I don’t recall being down there in the winter time. T: When was about the last time you went to Bird Haven? D: I don’t know. I was down there a couple years ago. There was nothing going on. For some reason I just drove down there to see what was going on to see what was there and what was still left. T: What did you see that was different? D: The buildings were in a pretty bad state of repair at the time. But I haven’t been there in a number of years. T: Did it bring back any memories? D: I remember walking though the buildings, or walking by them and looking in to see what was there. T: Were they happy memories? D: Yes, yes they were. T: So I guess I just have one final question. So if you could describe Bird Haven in one word, what word do you think that would be? D: (Taking a moment to think) Unique I think. I never saw any other place like it. T: And what do you think made it unique? D: Well the folks doing the work by hand. At that time there was not a lot of machinery around I guess. But they had machinery like lathes and saws that the average person didn’t have. And it was just a unique place to go and walk up and down the street and look in the buildings. T: That’s really cool, that’s very interesting. Well thank you for doing this interview with me. D: Yes sir. �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Bird Haven Oral History Collection Subject The topic of the resource Bird Haven (Va) Shenandoah Community Workers Description An account of the resource Sometime in the early 1920s Philadelphia banker and philanthropist William Bernard Clark founded the Shenandoah Community Workers organization near what is now Basye Virginia. This group was designed to provide locals, many of which were economically disadvantaged, with good paying jobs based on their wood working traditions. Clark built a factory on property his grandmother had purchased as a personal retreat and named it Bird Haven Virginia. Initially the community workers focused on wooden toys and puzzles. Many of these featured birds, Hollywood Stars, or animals. Later the company began to produce small wooden furniture, bowls, and kitchen utensils. Bird Haven closed sometime in the early 1960s. Following this, most of the records were lost and much of the site's history was forgotten. This oral history project, conducted as part of a partnership between the Shenandoah County Library, James Madison University, and Bird Haven Farm, is designed to recover some of lost parts of the site's story. It focuses on interviews of 14 members of the Bird Haven community, including several employees and individuals who lived nearby. All interviews and transcriptions were conducted by JMU history students and are available for viewing in person at the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives.

Title A name given to the resource Morrison Studio Collection Subject The topic of the resource Morrison, Hugh Jr. (1871-1950) Morrison, Louis Morrison, James Description An account of the resource In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer. Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives. In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized. This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs. Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
