The above targets were achieved for the short term goals and the progress indicator has been completed. WCHS appreciates the hard work of Nancy O'Brien Wagner and Bluestem Studios. Her enthusiasm for the topic and careful attention to detail was a perfect fit for the project. The next phase in this project will be to execute planning for a high-quality exhibit at the Washington County Heritage Center as our long term goal, in addition to providing a baseline of research for future research projects for WCHS and members of the community.
