Chaco Culture National Historical Park held an old timers' reunion at the Park from October 5th through October 7th, 1990. The reunion was to "[honor] all personnel involved with Chaco Canyon National Monument during the last sixty years such as ruins stabilization crews, maintenance employees, archaeologists, traders, Civilian Conservation Corp., and National Park Service personnel." One of the activities which took place at the reunion was the Chaco Canyon Old Timers Reunion Oral History Project. The goal of the Project was to record old timers' recollections of Chaco Canyon in the "early" days. The project was adversely effected by a last minute change in the program agenda, as well as inclement weather and unfavorable site conditions.
