It is Women’s History Month and when it comes to Libertyville history there is no shortage of inspiring women who have lived and served in this town to make it what it is today.
Our local history librarian Jenny Barry is back for a special edition of The Past is Present, highlighting 3 such women.
- Dr. Getta Sweeting
- Hattie Boehm
- JoAnn Eckmann
