Hankey Center and Boyd Archives at Wilson College

Incredible photos shared by the Franklin County Historical Society from the Hafer Construction Co. album of the construction of Riddle Hall in 1924

Even though we cannot be together, your friends from the Hankey Center wish you all a peaceful Thanksgiving!

At Hannah Patterson's memorial service in 1937, Judge Sara Soffel said "Her's is a name that must not wither" and now we have a permanent marker that celebrates this remarkable feminist and her contribution to women's suffrage and the improvement of the lives of women and children. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g7uaGSgXlsM&t=95s
