After months of planning, multiple emails, texts and calls through the midst of COVID-19, the Susan B. Anthony historic sign is now a reality! Designed by Carol Bassett with input from the committee of Carol Liechty, Katy Schmitt and Robin Paul the sign was made and hung by John Gambrell. Located on the north side of Heartland Fiber Co, it's another beautiful historic marker for the Winterset square.

We're pretty excited to show everyone the final design for our sign honoring Susan B. Anthony. The Dream Big Dreams Madison County design committee spent March, April, and May collaborating by phone, email, and text with Linda Smith and the Madison County Historical Society plus graphic designer Carol Bassett to create a final sign design. After approval by the Heartland building owners and the Madisonian owner, it was delivered to John Gambrall for production on May 15. When completed the sign will be placed on the north side of the Heartland Building located on the west side of Winterset's historic square.

Yet another jewel in Winterset and Madison County's crown of historical importance! Dream Big Dreams Madison County is working on a plaque that will commemorate activist Susan B. Anthony. The women's rights activist, abolitionist and social reformer spoke at the courthouse April 23, 1875. In 1872 she was arrested for attempting to vote in the presidential election. The plaque will hang on the Heartland Building (formerly Trask Jewelry). Let's make this happen! @ Winterset, Iowa
