Our Next Historical Society Program
Girls who just took the Boxwell-Patterson Examination early 1900’s
"Notable Women of Champaign County"
At 6:30 pm on Tuesday Nov. 13, CCHS will host a meeting of Soroptimist International of Urbana, Ohio, who will present a program by Gloria Malone, Champaign County Reference Librarian, about local women from all walks of life who helped make Champaign County what it is today. From the first woman prosecuting attorney in Ohio to a woman who was repeatedly arrested for selling beer on Sunday, the stories abound. The museum and program are open to the public and prospective members are particularly invited. Founded in 1921, Soroptimist International is a world-wide volunteer service organization for business and professional women who work to improve the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world. The Champaign County Historical Society is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization that preserves, protects, archives and displays the artifacts that tell the Champaign County story and provides a free public museum located at 809 E. Lawn Ave., Urbana. The museum is open from 10-4 Mondays and Tuesdays and from 1-4 Sundays. |
