WGLT McHistory Series

McHistory: Bloomington's Settlement House

November 28th, 2016

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.

As many social service agencies in the state suffer from lack of state funding today, we hearken back to an era when such services came only from the local community.

GLT's Charlie Schlenker produced this edition of the occasional series McHistory done in partnership with the McLean County Museum of History.

It's about a late 19th and early 20th century champion of services for the working class in Bloomington Normal.
