April 2017 • "Women's Voices from Our Past"
The Women's History Trail Project brought history to life with a special program called "Women's Voices from Our Past". Local women, dressed in period attire, portrayed those women at Franklin's First United Methodist Church.
This project's goal was to recognize numerous Macon County women that stand out and deserve recognition either because of their own unique accomplishments or because they help us understand better the lives of other women of their time. Eight different Macon County women were depicted during the special program.
