| Description |
The Union Station Centennial oral history project is a companion to the Museums at Union Station's "Heart of Ogden" exhibit, which commemorates the 100-year anniversary of the opening of the current Union Station building on November 22, 1924. In honor of the centennial anniversary, Ogden City contracted with oral historian Alyssa Kammerman of RootsBridge LLC to collect fifteen oral histories from community members who shared memories associated with the Union Station in Ogden. The interviews encompass the 1930s to the present day, thus documenting the period when Union Station was actively functioning as a train station and its subsequent transformation into a museum and cultural center. Community members interviewed included former railroad employees, Union Station employees, residents of Ogden, city employees, and museum volunteers. The diverse range of interviewees reflects the diversity of Ogden and provides a comprehensive view of Union Station's impact on the community as a cultural hub and a place of shared history. |
| Abstract |
This is an oral history interview with Don Pantone, conducted October 13, 2023, for the 100 year anniversary of the Ogden Union Station. This interview was conducted at the Ogden Union Station by oral historian Alyssa Kammerman of RootsBridge LLC. During this interview, Don shares his memories of watching his father play clarinet with the Ogden Union Pacific Railroad Band in the 1930s and 1940s. He recalls watching the roundhouse employees work on the trains, encountering homeless people riding the rails during the Great Depression, and observing the servicemen coming and going during World War Two. He goes on to describe his efforts to help his wife in her work on the Union Station Foundation once the Union Station Museums opened. The following is a video clip of an oral history interview. A full transcript of the interview is available. |
