For the past few years, PoCo Muse volunteer and supporter Pam Murrow has been hard at work reading and transcribing the diaries of Morgan Township farmer, John B. DeCrow (1834-1923). The diaries in the PoCo Muse Collection span from 1866 to 1890 and document DeCrow’s daily chores and business records. Join Pam at this History Talk for a marvelous peek into the day-to-day life of a Porter County farmer.

No need to RSVP for this History Talk, although we ask that you arrive a few minutes before the start time as a courtesy to the other attendees.
