Our Story, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that strives to seek out, collect, preserve and exhibit the contributions, heritage, and culture of people whose experiences are not well represented in Northern Nevada history. This non-profit organization provides opportunities and information for students, and scholars to study what is not normally offered in public or private school classrooms.
“Our Story, Inc.”, founded in 1996 by Kenneth B. Dalton, strives to seek out, preserve and exhibit the heritage, culture, contributions, and accomplishments of people whose history is not well represented in Northern Nevada. “The stories of the unsung are not being shared and preserved as they should”, says Ken. “I have often heard important historical information in a casual conversation with a local resident and think to myself, ‘Why didn’t I know this?’ Northern Nevada needs to know this! That is why I started “Our Story, Inc.” I wanted to provide a way for everyone to share, discover and learn what is not normally offered in public or private school classrooms.” “Our Story, Inc.” is not a public library or an operating archive. However, we delight in pursuing and sharing the untold and/or seldom taught contributions of people in Northern Nevada. In cooperation with the Nevada Historical Society, some collections are stored in their facility; others may be viewed by appointment with an “Our Story, Inc.” representative.
