COFFEE
CHAT: Women On The Farm
May
8th, 2012 from 10:30am-12:00pm
Wright
County Heritage Center (2001 Hwy 25 N, Buffalo)
Women continue to play an integral role on Wright County Farms. Do you have a story to share
about being a woman on a Wright County Farm? Did you, for example, grow all your vegetables and can them, feed the thrashing
crew or work in the fields yourself? If so, we would love to hear your stories! The Wright County Historical Society,
together with the Wright County Agricultural Society, are partnering to collect stories and photographs from our county's
early years of farming (between 1900-1950). Original photographs will be scanned and returned the same day, and must
be taken in Wright County. All collected items will be archived for future generations, with some photos and stories
being shared in a DVD format at the upcoming Wright County Fair.
Please join us for an informal 'coffee chat' at the Wright County Heritage Center (2001 Hwy 25 N, Buffalo)
on Tuesday, May 15 from 10:30am-12:00pm. Light refreshments will be served; this event is free and open to the public.
For more information please contact Sally Stevens at 763-682-7323, visit
www.wrighthistory.org, or our Facebook page (Wright County Historical Society). Hope to see you there!
PLEASE NOTE: If you are
unable to make this month's Coffee Chat on Early Wright County Farming but have photos or a story to share, you can email
.jpg photos to wrighthistory@me.com, share your story through the form below, or visit us at the Wright County Heritage Center.
We would be happy to scan your photos and return the originals to you immediately.
Share YOUR Wright County Farming
Story!
