I’m not a native Davenporter, either, and am sometimes overwhelmed by all the fascinating historical connections around here.

Annie Wittenmyer wasn’t originally an Iowan either—she was born in Ohio—but she did so much for the people of Iowa that we’ve claimed her for our own!

I’m not local- I didn’t know who Annie Wittenmyer was or what she did. Good for her!
