The Avondale Memory Project is a community-based public history program, part of the Museum of Memory Neighborhood Memory Projects at El Pueblo History Museum. Other neighborhood memory projects have included Eilers Heights, Salt Creek, and Dog Patch, which is currently underway.

In this memory workshop, current and former residents of Avondale and their families will begin to co-author a history of their community. Participants are invited to share their stories of family, work, school, sports, church, and community in either written or oral form. Participants will leave with the tools to collect more stories from their families, friends, and neighbors.

All current and former residents of Avondale are invited to this workshop. There will be a light dinner and some community updates before the workshop begins.
