November 5th, 2019

Listen to the audio on WGLT's website here

McHistory goes back in time to explore big moments and small stories from McLean County history. McHistory episodes can be heard periodically on WGLT's Sound Ideas.

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Irons Folsom Fox blazed the path for women in Bloomington-Normal who had dreams of writing in the late 1800s.

One of the Pantagraph's first female court reporters is the subject of this week's McHistory.

WGLT's Mary Cullen produced this episode of McHistory with help from the McLean County Museum of History Librarian Bill Kemp and museum volunteer and part-time employee Rochelle Gridley.
