The Almeda fire of 2020 spared the Talent Historical Society by a little more than a city block. But the physical near-miss also inspired THS to help its community record the fire and its wide-ranging effects for the historical record.
What began as a blogging project has grown in new directions, and new includes a book,Talent, Oregon: The Almeda Fire, which brings together pictures, interviews, and stories of what was possibly the worst day in the small city's history.
