7 Stories on theme of ‘Way Too Close’ at Highline Heritage Museum

Local residents will have the chance to hear, and share, personal stories during the next 7 Stories event, which returns to the Highline Heritage Museum this Friday night, Sept. 26, 2025 with the theme “Way Too Close.”

This free event will be held at the museum from 7 – 8:30 p.m.

Organizers say the monthly storytelling night aims to build community, encourage empathy and celebrate diversity by featuring true tales told directly by community members.

Each storyteller is introduced by a host, who shares a short biography of each before they take the stage.

“These are not theatrical performances,” organizers noted. “They are real stories told from the heart — funny, powerful, and sometimes a little uncomfortable — by your friends, neighbors, and people you may be meeting for the first time.”
