Join me in a chat about the history of Woolsey with the unofficial historian, Frank Carden, who has spent his life in Woolsey and much over four decades serving his town.
From Dr. IG Woolsey's land purchase to a growing community to focusing on preserving the town's legacy, Frank shares details and memories of Woolsey.
Tune in to the end to find out how Woolsey is restoring the original buildings and find ways you can help!
