An internationally renowned hunting and fishing guide, a celebrated historian and educator, and an African missionary — they all travelled and made their mark on the world.
And they were all women from Queens County.
Local historian Kathy Stitt was at the Thomas H. Raddall in Liverpool on Wednesday to tell the stories of these three remarkable women. Stitt worked for 27 years at Perkins House Museum and the Queens County Museum before retiring last year.
She began the series in 2022 to highlight some of the local women who made their mark on history, and to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8.
“A community, whether it’s made of people that have been here all their lives, or somebody that arrived yesterday, they can’t be part of a community if you don’t know where it comes from,” Stitt said in an interview afterward.
