This year’s Virtual Tales from the Departed highlights the Suffrage Movement and the fight for the women’s right to vote in Wayne County. Wayne County played an important role as the place that sparked the movement in Indiana. Our Suffragists extended their reach, and made their mark on the national movement. We will release videos throughout the rest of October, be sure to visit our Facebook page & Youtube Channel to meet these amazing characters.
