Item N-2001-016: CN-115B - Fort Good Hope History of Church (Old)

• Sound recording

1 audio cassette (32 min.)

This item consists of music and a tour of the Fort Good Hope church, likely recorded in 1972. Both sections are in English. The original source item is side B of a 60 minute audio cassette. There is about 2 minutes of music at the beginning of the recording and the music continues after the church tour for about another 14 minutes, seeming to indicate that the tour was recorded over the previous musical recording. The Fort Good Hope church tour is led by a female tour guide for two male visitors. The guide indicates that church construction started in 1865 with limited tools and the need to bring lumber from a distance. She points out numerous paintings inside the church and speaks about the various artists who created them. The guide also mentions the windows, floor, heating issues, organ, statuary, and vestments inside the church building. The tour continues outside of the building in the cemetery. The guide provides information about some of the people buried there, including Fathers, Brothers, and community members. The grave fencing, bells, and cross are also mentioned.

This recording includes sides A and B of the tape.
