A new Pulaski County historian will be taking over in January.
Mary Conner of Winamac has been appointed to a three-year term by the Indiana Historical Society and the Indiana Historical Bureau, following her nomination by the Pulaski County Historical Society. She replaces Karen Fritz, who did not seek reappointment after three terms.
In a Pulaski County Historical Society press release, Conner says her goal is to raise awareness of the county’s history and “to represent the county and local historical society in a professional manner and within a timely period.” Conner also hopes to start a youth History Day program.
The Indiana County Historian Program has been in place since 1981. Historians are volunteers who serve as a contact point for questions on county history. Past Pulaski County historians have been Lynda Irving and Richard Dodd.
