Ringgold County's Oral Legend & Memories Project
Do you have a Ringgold County family story, memory, reminiscence, tall tale, or legend to share?
Please, do tell! Be it a ghost story from your childhood, a tall whooper of a tale Grandpa love to tell . . . again,
and again and again . . . we would love to hear from you and share with others. If you have a photograph to go along
with that story or memory, please include it if you can. We love photographs, too.
