Pam Miller oversees the Storytelling Resource Place in Jonesborough, Tennessee. The purpose of the Storytelling Resource Place is to collect, preserve, and make available storytelling resources in a public space where people may use the resources and view the artifacts. They are located in the old Slemons House in Mill Spring Park. We are excited that Pam will be joining us at the Chester Inn Museum to share such an important story.

You can learn more about women’s suffrage in Washington County at the Jonesborough/Washington County History Museum in the Visitor’s Center. The event on December 9^th is virtual only.
