Madison-Morgan Cultural Center & Morgan County Landmarks Society proudly present, Seven Pioneers of Morgan County, Georgia. Whether surrounded by lab equipment, children, audiences, or family, each of the seven Morgan County women shown in this video made a significant mark here, and some across the state, country, and even the world. All lives today are enriched by their singular accomplishments in education, cancer research, and women’s rights opportunities. All girls and women will be inspired by their talents, dreams, and intellect. The interviews herein were gleaned from oral histories video-recorded in 2008 and 2009 by the Morgan County Resource Preservation Advisory Board. Patsy Harris, co-creator of the Museum Highlights series for the Cultural Center, along with Terry Tatum, current VP of Landmarks, produced Seven Pioneers of Morgan County, Georgia for the Morgan County Landmarks Society.
